Please fill out an application (see above) then come to the Grand Rapids Lion's Club at 9:00 am to receive your assignment! You will also receive driving directions. Volunteers are also needed to rake leaves after Make A Difference Day to help out folks on a waiting list. If you are interested in helping out later, please click here.
