Monmouth’s Big Event seeks worksites

WEST LONG BRANCH — If you have a project at your house and could use some helping hands, this is your chance to sign up to become a Big Event worksite.

Big Event is the single largest student sponsored community service project organized by the Monmouth University Student Government Association.

The community service day is all about giving back and helping neighbors. The Big Event will be held this year on Saturday, Oct. 9, (rain or shine) from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Over the past 10 years, 2,500 volunteers from campus have spent a day helping out at more than 200 worksites in the surrounding communities. Volunteers have helped at local food pantries, cleaned beaches, helped neighbors move furniture or clean up a yard, painted rooms, done landscaping, and more.

To learn more about the Big Event and how to become a worksite, call 732-571-3484, email or go to the Big Event website, www.monmouth.edu/ bigeventsga@monmouth.edu.
