What is Jubilee Service Day?
Jubilee Service Day is an annual event in August that brings together people in the Eastside community to serve at local public schools and homes. Started in 2005 with one church serving at one school, this day has grown to involve over 2000 volunteers, 20 schools, and at least 60 homes in 2024.
Volunteers come from all over the community, primarily from local churches, organizations, businesses, and people already partnering with Jubilee REACH.

SCHOOL SITES
Teachers and staff of 20 local public schools register to receive volunteers to assist them in preparing the school and classrooms for the next school year.
Volunteers do such things as: curriculum assembly, classroom organizing, arranging bookshelves, general cleaning, decorating, hanging things on walls, closet/cupboard organizing, and more.
The goal is to get things on their “to-do” lists crossed off, so they can spend more time preparing for the students.
SEWING SITE
Sewing chair pockets for classrooms is resuming. If you are interested in cutting fabric, serging, sewing or helping in other ways, please email Nancy at nancyc@jubileereach.org.
