Community Cares Week

Haven’t registered? You can still sign up! Stop by the registration table in the Memorial Student Center before a 9am or 1pm shift.

T-shirt pick-up

  • Volunteer T-shirts can be picked up from the Student Center Lobby between 10 am- 2 pm on Monday, May 13th.
  • Shirts can also be picked up from the Student Center Lobby Tuesday to Friday of Community Cares week from 8:30 am to 1:00 pm before you begin your shift.
  • If you volunteer at the Landing or the Health Sciences, South Charleston, and MOVC campuses, we will deliver your shirts to those locations for you to pick up on the day you volunteer.

Volunteer check-in

  • Before reporting to your volunteer site, please stop by the Student Center Lobby to check in for your shift. (If you are volunteering for more than one shift, please stop by before each shift.)
  • When you check in, you will receive your work assignment for the day. We will direct you to the appropriate meeting location for your volunteer shift.
  • For individuals volunteering at sites, not on the main campus (South Charleston, The Landing, MOVC, Health Sciences Campus, etc.), you can report directly to that location without checking in at the Student Center first.
  • For afternoon volunteers on the main campus and other sites in Huntington, please check in at the Student Center before Noon if you would like to be eligible for the door prize drawings during lunch.

Lunch

  • Lunch will be served daily in the Student Center from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm for volunteers and staff leading volunteer crews that day.
  • We have some amazing door prizes donated by local businesses and campus partners, and there will be drawings.
  • When you sign in for your shift, you’ll be given an entry form to fill out to be eligible. As a reminder, people working at 1 pm must check in for their shift before Noon.

Other Updates

  • Please make sure to dress for the weather and hydrate appropriately. We’ll have water around the work sites if you need it.
  • If you have any questions regarding your shift time or location, you can find us in the Student Center Lobby during Community Cares Week on Monday from 10:00 am-2:00 pm and Tuesday – Friday from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm. (We’ll also be around until 6:00 pm on Thursday.)

Parking on the Huntington campus

If you are not a Marshall University faculty, staff, or student, you will still be able to park on campus during Community Cares. MUPD will not ticket your car during this time as long as you are in a legal university parking space. (Please do not park in any fire lanes or handicap spots without a valid permit.) The 6th Ave parking garage will still operate as a paid parking lot during this time.

Updates for MOVC, South Charleston, School of Medicine, School of Pharmacy and The Landing

  • For individuals volunteering at sites, not on the main campus (South Charleston, The Landing, MOVC, Health Sciences Campus, etc.), you can report directly to that location without checking in at the Student Center first.
  • If you volunteer at the Landing or the Health Sciences, South Charleston, and MOVC campuses, we will deliver your shirts to those locations for you to pick up on the day you volunteer.

Your points of contact are as follows: South Charleston and MOVC- Joe Justice, The Landing- Tracey Eggleston, and School of Med and Pharmacy – Jamey Montgomery.
