RAM House Help
2026-09-07 13:00 - 15:00, 2026-09-08 13:00 - 15:00, 2026-09-09 13:00 - 15:00, 2026-09-10 13:00 - 15:00, 2026-09-11 13:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York) | RAM House, 410 Elm Avenue SW, Roanoke, 24016, United States
Melissa Woodson, Director of RAM House, requests assistance with the final phase of preparing RAM House.
Starting on Tuesday, September 1st, Kiwanians teams of volunteers will move canned goods by dolly from shipping containers to their permanent location in RAM House.
We need people to unpack the containers and people to take the items by dolly down the alley to the RAM House for final storage. We will do this for two hours per day, starting Tuesday, September 1st at 1 pm each day until we have emptied the two containers (anticipated completion date is September 11 or earlier).
Even if you have only one afternoon to spare, it will help RAM with their imminent launch.
This is just one way that Kiwanis makes a difference in Roanoke. Let’s support Melissa’s team and move mountains for our friends and neighbors.

It is also a chance to connect with learners, hear their stories, learn about their goals, and get to know potential talent in our community. Kiwanian participation provides valuable real-world practice while strengthening community connections.
Each mock interview session will run 30-45 minutes. Sessions will be conducted from 10:00am-12:00pm on September 22, 24, 28, and October 1. Volunteer for one or more sessions.
