When: Saturday, April 10, 11am - 2pm Event Leaders: [email protected] Where: Community Grounds Coffee & Meeting House, 1134 Parsons Ave. Columbus, OH What to Wear: Wear sturdy clothing, bring gloves if you have them, and plan to follow health dept. guidance (masks, social distance) for COVID safety. We will have trash bags, tools and some gloves/vests. COVID-19 Precautions: Due to the current stay-at-home advisory in place in Franklin county, Columbus Gives Back is limiting the number/type of events on our calendar through the end of the year. All Columbus Gives Back volunteers are required to wear face masks and observe social distancing as appropriate to complete volunteer tasks. Volunteers who are sick, especially with fever or the growing number of Covid-19 symptoms, should stay home. We highly recommend that our volunteers wash their hands, use hand sanitizer at the beginning and end of the event, and/or wear gloves. We will follow whatever safety policy our nonprofit partners have in addition to the safety precautions listed above. Any volunteers determined to neglect these precautions and put other volunteers or the people we serve at risk will be dismissed from the event. In an effort to keep our volunteers, event leaders, and non-profit partners safe we ask that each volunteer or event leader sign up for no more than one event in a seven-day period, in order to limit the number of individuals you come into contact with if you are exposed to Covid-19. If you were exposed before or test positive after having participated in a CGB event, please contact the event leader or reach out to [email protected] so that we can best support contact tracing efforts. About Green Columbus: Building on the success of the first Earth Day Columbus in 2007, Green Columbus has engaged the Central Ohio community to contribute more than 100,000 hours of green citizen service. Earth Day Columbus is growing every year and is a staple in community engagement and beautification for Columbus. About Community Grounds: Grab a coffee, snag a bagel, get some beans, suspend a purchase for someone in need to claim, cop some merch, place a special order - whatever it is, if you care about businesses that always practice what they preach and go the extra mile to be genuine stewards in the community, make a point to show Community Grounds some love during these uncertain times. This family goes extremely hard for South Columbus, their neighbors, and anyone who needs a little community and kindness in their life. I cannot even begin to say how fortunate we are to have them, and their loving energy, in our midst. About Columbus Gives Back: Columbus Gives Back coordinates group volunteer events with local non-profits, organizes philanthropic happy hours to raise support and awareness for our non-profit partners, and participates in other philanthropic events while emphasizing our social twist: to have fun with volunteers new and old during and after events in the hopes of creating a culture of community engagement amongst our target audience of young professionals. #SocialTwist: Social Twists have been suspended until further notice, but typically we will also encourage volunteers to join us afterwards for food and drinks to better get to know the other cool folks in our group! Rather we encourage each of our volunteers to support local business during this time.
