The goal of these Volunteer Work Days (VWD) is to get the volunteers of C4C together for some face to face interaction. Our current lack of physical location can cause difficulties in communication and relationship building. As we create and hold these VWDs on a regular basis, we hope that these hardships will be overcome.
