Beavercreek Hope is again having a booth at the Popcorn Festival, on September 12-13, 2026 (the weekend after Labor Day). Sign up to help staff the booth on either day of the festival at your preferred time. We need about 6-8 people per time slot. Detailed volunteer info will be sent to your email address soon after signing up. Sign up below.
What do volunteers do at the Popcorn Festival Outreach? – Well, as people walk along and visit the booths, our volunteers greet them with a smile. One of the first things we offer is water. There will also be literature sharing, such as magazines and tracks, Bibles, and coloring books, for children. A special highlight that we will repeat this year was the making of balloon animals. If you would like to know how to make those, you will be trained by our local experts.
