Sheep Dog Impact Assistance is coordinating from the Center for Nonprofits (1200 W. Walnut St., Rogers, AR 72756) parking lot. The back lot where the Sheep Dog vehicles are parked. There will be a daily meet-up and safety brief at 08:30 AM, every day through the weekend. To go out with a team be at the safety briefing.
We will have volunteer t-shirts for you but supplies are limited, if you have previous DRM attire please wear that. Please wear jeans and heavy shoes, bring gloves and if you have any personal safety equipment.
Join us in Dallas!
We’re looking for dedicated volunteers to help make this event a success. Whether you can lend a hand for an hour or the entire weekend, your support makes a difference. Let’s bring all of Sheep Dog Nation together to honor the sacrifices of our military, veterans, first responders, and their families. Our goal is to see more than 200 volunteers wearing our t-shirts at this year’s event. Each volunteer will receive a shirt for each day you are at the event. SDIA has limited lodging accommodations available to support volunteers on a first come, first served basis.
