Mothercraft Touch-a-Truck event needs a few extra hands
Posted by andrea tomkins in: - Ottawa for kids|Easy ways to make kids happy
Mothercraft’s 2nd annual Touch-a-Truck event gives kids young and old the opportunity to get up close and personal with vehicles of all shapes and sizes.
Touch-a-Truck will take place on Father’s Day at Lincoln Fields Shopping Centre, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. There’ll be over 30 vehicles for kids to explore, arts and crafts, food (c/o Busters), a strongman demonstration and other activities. (Does this event sound awesome or what?)
Proceeds from the fundraiser go toward supporting Mothercraft programs such as pre-natal and parenting support, learning and child care. In other words you get to give your kid the thrill of a lifetime AND support a most-excellent organization.
Unfortunately they’re short a few volunteers to help in a variety of roles: set-up, clean-up, runners, security, truck assistance, staging, etc. Shifts are flexible and range from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. Volunteers will be fed and watered! High school students can earn volunteer hours by attending the info session as well as for their participation at the event.
