Above: It takes a lot of helping hands to put on the community’s popular Thanksgiving event (and Friends of Rec fundraiser). (images cropped from photos top by Friends of Southborough Rec and bottom by Chris Wraight and flyer)
Friends of Southborough Recreation is hoping a flock of volunteers will sign up to help make their feel good fundraiser — the Gobble Wobble — run smoothly.
Volunteers are needed for the day before Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving morning. All volunteers get a free meal each shift1, a Gobble Wobble shirt, and community service hours. (Plus, that good feeling that comes with helping out!)
For those not familiar, the Gobble Wobble combines a 5K timed race with a 2 mile family-friendly walk on Thanksgiving morning.
The annual event is offered to support “community health, togetherness, and spirit”. But is also the Friends of Rec’s big annual fundraiser. Proceeds help support community recreation (facilities, programs, etc.)
To volunteer for a shift helping out the day prior to the event or morning of, click here.

Thank you to the sponsors of this year’s Gobble Wobble. (See image right.)
And reminder, the community’s fun run for kids isn’t on Thanksgiving. That event (the Turkey Trot, run separately by Southborough Kindergroup) will take place earlier this month, on Sunday, November 15th. Read more about that here.
