Service to the community is a hallmark of our organization and helps distinguish us from many other sports leagues. As one of the largest GLBT sports organizations in New England, FLAG Flag Football recognizes that many individuals have come before us and have supported and assisted our efforts. We are giving back to the community that, through its strength and sheer determination, has inspired our members to truly play with pride.

Through 2010-2011, it is our goal to coordinate two or three volunteer opportunities per month for GLBT based organizations. Opportunities last only a few hours, are a perfect team activity, and a great way to meet an entirely new group of athletes. Please review the opportunities below and do one of two things: volunteer with us or pass the word along to help promote our initiatives. For more information contact Director of Community Affairs and Outreach Michael Duffy.
We hope to see you out on the field, around town and volunteering in the community!

2010 Volunteer Opportunities:

• Boston Living Center: (1st Monday of the month). We are looking for 4-5 volunteers from 5:30-7:30pm to either work on the food line, help in the kitchen, or wait tables to a crowd of approximately 100 clients. The Boston Living Center is located on 29 Stanhope St in the South End and is easily accessible by the Green Line (Copley) and the Orange Line (Back Bay).

• Community Servings: (3rd Wednesday of the month). Community Servings provides free home delivered meals to over 850 individuals and families. They design meals that meet the complex dietary requirements of people coping with a devastating illness who are unable to cook for themselves. This volunteer activity will be perfect for a team project since we will need 15 volunteers each month to help prepare food for the community. Community Servings is located at 18 Marbury Terrace in Jamaica Plain and is accessible on the Orange Line (Stony Brook Station).
