Call for Volunteers
Volunteers are crucial to the success of our DiverCITY Community BBQ! Without the support of our amazing OOE community, we would not be able to put on these events.
​
Jobs include working the cash, dicing up some toppings (lettuce, tomatoes and onions), set-up/clean up and of course, working the bbq!
​
Shifts range from 30 - 60 minutes, leaving you plenty of time to enjoy the BBQ yourself with your family, friend sand neighbours. This is a great way to meet others in your community and give back at the same time!
