BECOME A VOLUNTEER FOR PLYMOUTH’S BIG, HISTORIC CELEBRATION

America’s Hometown Thanksgiving is a non-profit organization that relies on the generous support of our sponsors and on the tireless effort of our volunteer staff. We could not pull off such a large event without the help of our volunteer staff. Some of volunteers have mentioned the following reasons why they choose to donate their time and efforts to this wonderful event:

  • Sense of community
  • Sense of accomplishment
  • Part of something spectacular
  • Resume builder
  • Great for team building
