Volunteer | Big Bend Community Center

***During rental events and fundraiser events for the Big Bend Community Center, the parking area gets used a lot for many fun things!***

The Big Bend Community Center (formerly the Big Bend Community Club) recently got a new start in 2024! The BBCC had been closed for several years and needed to be reactivated by a group of dedicated local volunteers. Several community member volunteers have stepped forward to work on the re-start, which involved a new Board of Directors, the re-creation of the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, facility maintenance and repairs, and enlisting more volunteers to get back up & running.

Please help when you can.

YOUR Big Bend Community Center is a community resource, an important part of Big Bend history, and a great place to gather… And its existence is due to the generous VOLUNTEER work of a handful community members. YOUR HELP IS NEEDED to keep the BBCC alive and thriving.

Volunteers are needed year-round for the following important work:
•Big Bend Residents: Consider the BBCC to be partly yours & get involved!
•Driving on Hot Springs Road: Be part of our security presence and keep an eye out for any suspicious behavior, including unauthorized vehicles or people at the BBCC.

We need all kinds of volunteers! The BBCC is working on reactivating after being closed for a few years, and things are happening! Here are ways you could help:
•Attend Meetings and participate in meetings
•Rent the Center to host your events there! (very reasonable rates)
•Host an event or class that is free and open to the public, and rental fees are waived!
•Vote in the Board of Directors Elections
•Serve on the Board of Directors as President
•Serve on the Board of Directors as Vice President
•Serve on the Board of Directors as Treasurer
•Serve on the Board of Directors as Secretary
•Get on the Lawn Care Team schedule for mowing and/or watering
•Organize and/or Attend Work Party Days to clean, repair, and improve the BBCC
•Donate time, money, and/or materials to help with BBCC remodel, repairs, and maintenance
•Mop the Floor
•Deep-Clean the bathrooms
•Deep-Clean the kitchen
•Pick up trash in Parking Areas (bottle caps, cigarette butts, and bits of glass)
•Take trash & recycling. The BBCC does not have curbside pick-up service, so we depend on folks to remove the trash & recycling.
•Donate firewood to the BBCC (deliver to back porch wood pile)
•Get involved and show you care!

BB Community Club — ***Originally called the “Big Bend Community Club”, a group of locals conceived and built the BBCC in 1950, so the building needs continual maintenance, care, and repairs.***
