RSVP now for Day of Peace
Day of Peace DetailsWe will be working with Berkeley’s University Village (a partner for one of our monthly service groups) to help put on the “No Matter What you Speak, You are Welcome” International Fall Festival and Potluck. Project Peace volunteers will be helping Resident Advisors set up and break down, man game booths, display a children’s art presentation, and coordinate an international potluck. Be sure to wear comfortable clothes and shoes!
NOTE: There will be no childcare provided for this event. However, mobile, supervised children are welcome to participate at both sites.
What is a Day of Peace?
A Day of Peace is a coordinated effort by Project Peace East Bay and local churches and faith-based groups in which volunteers serve with East Bay agencies and organizations in order to meet needs in the East Bay Community. Days of Peace are not overtly Christian projects (there is no teaching or prayer), and the agencies and organizations served are not faith-based non-profits.
What does a Day of Peace look like?
A Day of Peace usually involves community “sweat equity.” Landscaping, construction, painting, organizing, cleaning up a watershed—all of these activities and more comprise a Day of Peace. See photos on our Flickr collection.
The Village will be providing volunteers with dinner and drinks. We're also invited to stay after we finish breaking down the festival to watch Coraline in the Village's outdoor amphitheater. This is going to be great fun!
