Volunteers: We Need Your Help on July 4th!
It is the Island's big day - and it truly takes an entire community of volunteers to make the magic happen - which is where you, beloved community members, are needed to help all go smoothly at the Grand Old 4th of July.
Volunteer for a couple hours as an individual, team or family.
We have tasks for one and all - and would love to have your help for a couple of hours on the big day.

Sign Up for the Largest Parade on Bainbridge
The mile-long parade through the streets of Winslow is the high point of the day, featuring dozens of flags, bands, organizations, businesses and more – usually somewhere around 100 units.
It’s a good thing that people also come from off island to watch, since most of the actual on-island population often seem to actually be in the parade!
Hometown Parade deadline is this Friday, June 14.
