What To Expect at Our Pillar Events

Throughout the year, we host around 20 events, ranging from river cleanups, cookouts with Veterans, walkabouts to learn about Cincinnati’s public transit, and friendly bowling competitions.

There are no membership requirements or fees, so you’re welcome to attend as many or as few events as you like. After each volunteering event, we host a social gathering to say, “thank you” and provide an opportunity to continue to connect with fellow volunteers.
