About the Event:
Volunteer groups are needed to assist with the setup of NCC's Spring Jam event.
Here is a synopsis of Spring Jam…
NCC's "Spring Jam" Spring Break experience is an annual educational event that provides a unique, artistic, and cultural experience to lower-income families and youth in Memphis, Tennessee. This event highlights a particular country to give youth who may never experience visiting another country the opportunity to gain that experience in a mock simulation event. More than 1200 youth are expected to have this experience. This year marks our 21st year hosting this event, and we will be highlighting the country of America.
This volunteer project involves building sets to mimic the country we're highlighting this year. Volunteers should wear comfortable clothes they wouldn't mind getting paint on, etc.

Location: 4^th St. & Dr. Martin Luther King Ave
About the Event:
Grandmothers sleep in their vehicles outside our gates to be among the first to receive a week's worth of groceries. The Mid-South Food Bank delivers our groceries at 7:00 in the morning on these Saturdays. We then "stage" the food. At approximately 8:10am, Stan "The Bellringer" Bell provides our PA system and we have our welcome (especially for first timers), pep talk, safety awareness session.
We open the gates at 8:30 am or a little earlier if possible. We've been wrapping up these sessions by 10:30 or 11:00 am each month. You are cordially invited to join us and please share creative ideas to make this monthly gathering even better! Faculty, staff, and students can use me as the person to verify their volunteer hours with GivePulse and/or if anyone has any questions. Please feel free to share my contact information as listed in my signature box.
