    There will 33 ways to volunteer over the course of three days. Thirty three service projects to better our community. (And, if you believe as I do, that encouraging kids at risk to do something for someone else, 33 ways to spend time doing something meaningful with and for the kids you care about.)

    Projects that you can participate in include being a Big Brother or Big Sister for a day, building new bicycles from donated parts, sprucing up the children’s section of the Hillsboro Public Library, and creating greeting cards for sick children, stock the pantry at the Oregon Food Bank, and much more
