Dearborn Homecoming -Volunteers Needed

Posted on

Volunteers Needed!

CALL TO ACTION: We NEED your HELP! We have a couple of big events during homecoming that we need help with! We can’t do it alone! Click the links for details.

Homecoming Bike Parking: Sign up for a shift or two on August 1-3. Share this post with your friends, bike groups, and volunteer groups. We need your help to man our shift all 3 days of homecoming. You’ll receive people’s bikes, secure them in the gates, and return proper bikes to people as they return. We would like 3 people per shift…more for the closing shifts after the fireworks, as it is crazy (but super fun!!) when everyone picks up at once at the end of the night. Click the link for more details and to sign up for shifts that match your availability!

Homecoming Bike Ride: Saturday, August 2, is our family bike ride with the mayor. We need volunteers to help out. Experienced ride support, SAG truck driver, photographer, and registration table. It’s very much appreciated. Click the link for sign up and details about each available position.

2019 Dearborn Homecoming Bike Parking Attendants Needed

Posted on

Last year in 2018, we introduced an idea of Bike Valet Parking at Dearborn’s Homecoming festival celebration. It was a great success!!

Free and Secure Bike Parking for Dearborn Homecoming

The members and volunteers of Bike Dearborn set up a secured parking area for residents and visitors of Homecoming to ride in and drop off their bicycles to be watched by our volunteer attendants. Over the course of the 3 day festival, we parked and monitored over 300 bicycles! This service is absolutely FREE!!

This year, 2019, we’ll be stationed in the same location, using the tennis courts at Ford Field to safely park and secure bicycles. once again, this service will be free!
Friday August 2, 2019: 2p-10p
Saturday August 3, 2019: 12p-11p
Sunday August 4, 2019: 12p-11p

Free and Secure Bike Parking for Dearborn Homecoming

We do need help though. If you have time to spare for a 2 hour shift, we need volunteers to take in and release bicycles to their owners as they come and go from Homecoming. We’ll be conveniently located at the tennis courts near restrooms, the Polish tent, and the beer tent. We need a minimum of 2 volunteers per shift….3 would be ideal as we expect to park more bike this year than last. The closing shift would ideally need 4 volunteers as this is the busiest time after the fireworks!!

If you are interested please sign up using the following Signup Genius link. Please only volunteer if you will be 100% committed to help! We will gladly sign for any community service hours for your volunteer help.
