Let’s wrap up an incredible year of giving back—Colfax style!
For our final Volunteer Day of 2025, we’re heading indoors to the welcoming warmth of SAME Café to make hygiene kits for members of their community. It’s a simple, hands-on way to share a little comfort with our neighbors who need it most this season.

After we finish assembling kits, we’ll head to one of our favorite Colfax spots for a casual end-of-year celebration—a chance to thank every volunteer who’s shown up, cleaned up, cheered on, and made a difference throughout the year.

How to get involved:
🧴 Bring travel-sized toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap, toothpaste, deodorant, etc.) if you can
🙌 Or just come ready to help assemble kits with the supplies we’ll have on hand
💛 Stay for the post-event celebration and connect with the amazing Colfax volunteer crew

This is our way of saying thank you for another incredible year of community, compassion, and Colfax spirit.

RSVP today!
