It’s that time of the year again as we get ready to volunteer at another Arts, Beats, and Eats festival!
Dates are Aug 30th through Sept 2nd.
Thank you all for the many ways you have lent your support!
We volunteer at the Arts, Beats, and Eats festival in Royal Oak to raise money by staffing a beverage booth. The last two years of volunteering have helped raise $5,082.42 and $5,934.05 in 2022 and 2023 respectively! We earn 8% on the drink sales and get 100% of the tips at our booth. So every sale you make and every tip/donation you get goes a long way. This year we are stretching our target in hopes of raising $8000. This goal is achievable, but only with your support! (Survey and signup at the end.)
These volunteer events are always a lot of fun, but also require a lot of hard work. Based on the feedback we have received from everyone, we’ve already started to make some improvements. We really want to make your volunteer experience the best it can be!
We’re excited to share a few key changes we have made focused on bettering your overall experience:
Shorter shift times
4-5 hours
Shifts overlap by 1 hour
To compensate for transferring roles and unexpected travel delays
Buddying up for closing shifts
It’s never fun closing by yourself
If you can’t recruit a buddy, we’ll try to organize extra help during those closing times
Below an example of what a daily schedule might look like:

If you’d like to participate in this year’s Arts, Beats, and Eats event, please fill out the survey below to give us a sense of how you would like to lend your support.
Any kind of help is always welcomed. No experience necessary!
Please fill out this survey by August 2nd. It’ll help us greatly!
Shortly after the survey due date, we will send out an email asking what shifts you are available for, t-shirt size, etc. On August 27th, we will have a volunteer orientation hosted by ReLeaf Michigan. This is a time for all the volunteers to get together and ask questions. We will also hand out volunteer t-shirts, festival wristbands, and parking passes! Details still need to be finalized, but we plan to provide pizza and beers. Orientation attendance is not mandatory.
Festival dates are Friday, August 30th through Monday, September 2nd.
We are looking forward to seeing you all. Let’s make this another successful volunteering event!
