Gather & Give Back

You can make your event in Toledo even more impactful for your guests by taking part in a service project at one of the city’s many non-profits. Whether your group spends time landscaping or cleaning on campus, or spending time reading or playing with residents, a visit to Sunshine Communities campus and meeting their residents is sure to leave a lasting impression. Another popular choice for service projects is volunteering at the Cherry Street Mission. For more than 75 years the Cherry Street Mission has provided a lifeline to those in need, and volunteers there gain a better view of poverty through helping and meeting the residents. You can also help preserve the environment and have fun by participating in one of Keep Toledo/Lucas County Beautiful’s volunteer projects. Your guests will get to connect with nature by beautifying green spaces, planting trees, or one of their other curated volunteer opportunities.

With so many great options available to groups of any size, you're sure to make your event in Toledo memorable! For more information or additional event enhancement ideas contact Emily Moore Kurth, our Group Services Coordinator today.
