Culver’s Restaurant Night – 10/2 - 5-8pm - Culver’s of Manchester; 14444 Manchester Road, 63011 - Culver’s will donate 10% of sales from the evening to Henry Elementary PTO. No code needed.

We have a Culver's "Share Night" (restaurant night) on Wednesday, October 2nd. As part of Culver's “Share Night,” they require that we have 1 adult volunteer and 4 youth volunteers per hour for the duration of the event.

As a volunteer, you will receive a Culver's apron and nametag, and then be responsible for delivering food to customers. (You will wash your hands and will need to continue to wash hands during your shift.)

We recommend the youth volunteers be in grades 2-5 as they will be walking outside to deliver food to customers and will need to be able to find the correct car and number. If you have a student who is younger and wants to sign up, you can do that but you need to plan to stay and assist the student as well (even if the 1 adult volunteer is signed up for the hour).

**PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT IF YOU SIGN UP THAT YOU KNOW FOR CERTAINTY YOU CAN ATTEND. Culver's is counting on the volunteers and it will be difficult to replace on short notice.**

Please sign up here. Sign ups are on a first come, first serve basis.
