2024 Volunteer Information
A HUGE THANK YOU to our volunteers. This event is run entirely by our amazing volunteers, and we could not do it without you!
Most volunteer opportunities are the day of the Edgewood Picnic. It takes many hands to host a successful event! Volunteering during the event is great for groups, and a way for your group to be visible in our community!
There are also some ongoing volunteer opportunities leading up to the event. Reach out with any questions!
