I Heart SE

08/21/2026

This past weekend we got together with some of our frequent flyer I Heart SE volunteers for a potluck cookout. It was a joyful time of connection and celebration.🍔🎉

But our exclamation of gratitude and ❤️❤️❤️ needs to be shouted out far and widely beyond the confines of that cookout shelter!!…

📣To every single person who has volunteered with us, donated to our fundraisers, liked/loved/shared our social media posts, rocked an I Heart SE t-shirt or bumper sticker, honked/waved/thanked our Plawkers, or showed LOVE for SE in any multitude of ways:
THANK YOU! We ❤️ you! We appreciate you!!!

Every small act of love does make a difference! Thank you to all who continue to contribute towards strengthening our vibrant Southeast Roanoke.💚✨

We LOVE receiving school supply donations for our Pathways after-school enrichment program! ✏️📚

As students head back to school, we are also dreaming up a wish list of volunteers who could bring fun, hands-on learning opportunities to Pathways this year.

We would be tickled to find volunteers who could help with:

🏃 Fitness activities once a week
🧶 Crocheting or knitting for older students
🚗 Basic car maintenance lessons for high schoolers
🔨 Basic home maintenance skills for middle and high schoolers

Fitness and nutrition are part of our curriculum, and we would love to have someone help keep students active and engaged. This could be a great opportunity for a retired PE teacher or anyone who enjoys working with youth!

The car maintenance and home maintenance lessons would likely be one- or two-time opportunities in the spring.

Interested in learning more about these fun volunteer opportunities?
