Opportunities From: Volunteer Santa Rosa County

We have been requested to provide volunteers for the 2026 Navarre Mardi Gras Parade.  Volunteers will need to arrive by 9:00AM.  The parade will begin at 1:00PM and is estimated to completed by 4:00PM.  Volunteers should have completed or viewed the basic traffic direction class.  We will use public safety radios for communication but will have amateur radio as a backup.  Volunteers should have a safety vest and traffic wand (we have loaners if you need one.)

Due to liability concerns, minors (children under 18) are not permitted to volunteer or accompany our CERT volunteers during events. With any event we work, please make sure to bring necessary personal items such as hydration, snacks, sunscreen, chairs or any other items you may need for the incident (traffic vests, etc.) While we strive to have supplies at each event, please be prepared in case something comes up that prevents your access to these supplies at the event. After action reports can be sent to srcares@santarosa.fl.gov.

To simplify our signup process & get it in line with our other activities, we are moving our weekly Santa Rosa County Citizen Corps Net Control Station (NCS) signup to "Get Connected."  The net is every week at 1900 CT on the 146.700 K4SRC repeater.

This opportunity is for Santa Rosa County employees.

Food Raising Friends (FRF) needs volunteers to assist with packing meal bags for the upcoming Spring Break meal bag distribution.

FRF creates meal bags because no child should ever have to face hunger, especially during school breaks when free breakfast and lunch are unavailable. Each FRF meal bag is thoughtfully packed, giving children and families peace of mind and the nourishment needed to stay healthy and focused.

The gift of food feeds the body, the mind, and empowers the person. If you would like to change children's norms from hunger to fed so they can reach their full potential, sign up to help us pack meal bags!
