Parking- Free parking is available at the Amphitheater lots, as well as across the street at Collin Community College Library - Spring Creek Campus (2800 E. Spring Creek Parkway).

Job Descriptions:

Registration - Volunteers will help with the process of participants checking in. They will check if the participant is registered by last name and if so then give them their race materials. Some volunteers will also assist with the process of new participants signing up the day of the race.

Post-race registration/food - Once registration is closed, the tents will be used for food primarily. Volunteers will help organize the food and monitor it while participants are finishing. Shirt exchanging will also be going on as well.

Course Marshal - Course marshals will be placed on the course and help direct the participants so they run the correct direction. Here we ask the volunteers to be as enthusiastic as possible, encouraging the runners to have a good time.

Water Station - Volunteers assigned to the water station will fill up cups of water and help distribute them to passing participants.

*Volunteers will more than likely work more than one job throughout the event.

Mission Statement

The Source of Hope is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization providing health, wellness, and education of health/wellness to all individuals in need. We provide hope to our local community with free/reduced cosmetic services and various social outreach programs and empower low-income cosmetology students by providing assistance through educational programs, grants, scholarships. The creation of The Source of Hope’s Education for Hope Program is to advance educational programs aimed at individuals working on getting their cosmetology license or already licensed for Professionals wishing to continue their education in the field of cosmetology. The Source of Hope has other programs besides helping and educating in the cosmetology field. Our mission is to help individuals in need with food, housing, clothing, job placement, gas and college scholarship among other necessities.

Description

The Source Of Hope is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing hope, wellness, and education to individuals in need. We are a dedicated team of volunteers that works to serve our DFW community for those in need such as at-risk families, veterans, and first responders. We have four programs:

  • Education for Hope: We assist qualified students of all ages to reach their dreams and goals. We provide scholarships to low income cosmetology students and facilitate students for advanced beauty education.
  • Wellness Of Hope Clinic: We offer free makeovers to individuals living with HIV/AIDs and low income individuals to help improve their self-esteem. We also provide free haircuts to senior citizens 65+, teachers, fire fighters, police officers, and veterans monthly.
  • Serving Hope: We prepare and serve meals to the homeless and elderly on the 4th Saturday of every month. We work with our local communities to provide hot home-cooked meals, free haircuts, showers, and clothing to the homeless of the DFW area. We also provide free home-cooked meals to underprivileged students in Collin County.
  • Sharing Hope: We organize a food share program in the DFW area by coordinating and distributing excess food with over 27 other organizations to aid in helping needy families. Help reduce our food waste to those in need.
