6. Will I be required to bring tools, paint ladders, etc. or will these things be provided?

We will provide the supplies, but it would be great if you could bring work gloves, a shovel and/or a rake!  Your Recruitment Captain will let you know if we need you to bring anything else.

Freedom Day is designed for EFNT member companies and their employees, as the mission of EFNT is to promote good corporate citizenship.

Other service projects will still be going on so feel free to see if others need your help. You can also check in with your Recruitment Captain and they can help you locate another service activity.

9. What happens if I finish my service late or I can’t get it done?

We’ll give it our best shot to finish it all, but if not, our service partners are very appreciative of any work that is done on that day.   We will also have a follow up service day planned,  and will let your Recruitment Captain know if we need volunteers from your company to help.

In spirit, yes – in activity, no. Our event is for EFNT network members only.
