REST DAY
NEXT REST DAY AT GRACE FELLOWSHIP CHURCH
Saturday, April 29, 2023
9:00 a.m. to 12 noon
Rest Day has become one of Grace’s largest outreaches to the community. This dream to give parents of children with disabilities an afternoon of rest began in 2010 with just 15 families. It has now grown to serve over 70 families every REST Day. Families drop off their kids (18 & younger), then leave for an afternoon of rest or errands or even a date! Volunteers spend the afternoon preparing dinners in the kitchen, playing games with kids, running activity rooms, and helping the kids have a wonderful and safe time.
FAMILIES
REST Day Volunteers
Thank you for your interest in volunteering for Rest Day! Registration, reference, and a background check are required before you can serve. We want to remind everyone that we love families serving together. Any age can serve at Rest Day but kids under 16 need to be serving with an adult. When registering online, there is a place to include any minors serving with you. We typically have around 125 friends participate and need many volunteers to make this day happen. To volunteer for Rest Day, please register here.
Groups: We need most of our volunteers to serve in groups alongside our friends with disabilities and their siblings to take them around to our planned activities.
Activity Rooms: We need volunteers to serve in our activity rooms to help execute all the fun our friends will have! We do crafts, games, face painting, a rumble room, music and the surprise “fun” room.
Medical Team: We need nurses and medical staff to support our friends so this day of REST is possible! If you are in the medical profession, we would love to connect with you!
Kitchen: We need volunteers to serve in the kitchen preparing meals to send home with our families.
