Veterans Of Now opens volunteer sign-up for Nov. 7 Flint events
Veterans Of Now is seeking volunteers for its Nov. 7 Pre-Veterans Day Motorcade and Business & Resource Expo in Flint, Michigan. The call for help comes as the group prepares an event that will bring veterans, military families, businesses and community supporters together during America’s 250th anniversary year.
Why it matters: - Volunteers will help run two connected community events in Flint on Nov. 7: the 6th Annual Pre-Veterans Day Motorcade and the Business & Resource Expo. - The event is designed to bring together veterans, military families, businesses and community supporters. - People who are not entering a vehicle or applying for Expo space still have a way to participate.
What happened: - Veterans Of Now opened volunteer registration for community members and organizations. - The volunteer interest form is for assignments in Motorcade staging, registration and check-in, guest services, logistics and Business Expo support. - Volunteers who are flexible can select a “wherever needed” option. - Registration is available through Veterans Of Now’s website. - The events are scheduled for Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, in Flint, Michigan.
The details: - Volunteer applicants provide contact information, organization and preferred assignment. - Specific duties, reporting times and final assignments must be confirmed with Veterans Of Now before event day. - The Motorcade will stage in front of Flint City Hall and depart at 10 a.m. Eastern. - The Business & Resource Expo will take place at Berston Field House in Flint. - Vendor setup runs from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. Eastern. - Public Expo hours run from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern. - The vendor setup period is not a universal volunteer reporting time. - Participants with a motorcycle, car, club or commercial vehicle must register for the Motorcade separately. - Event information and participation forms are available at VeteransOfNow.org. - Volunteer registration questions go to Rachel Harris at 810-777-4881 or veteransofnow@gmail.com. - Newsrooms can request coverage details or an interview with George F. Grundy II by emailing veteransofnow@gmail.com.
Between the lines: - Veterans Of Now is broadening participation beyond drivers and vendors by creating a volunteer lane for the event. - The separate registration paths suggest the Motorcade and Expo are being managed as distinct, but connected, parts of the same day. - The America’s 250th anniversary framing gives the event added civic symbolism.
What's next: - Volunteers will need to confirm assignments and reporting details with Veterans Of Now before Nov. 7. - Drivers and vehicle participants will continue using the separate Motorcade registration process. - Additional event updates should come through Veterans Of Now’s website and volunteer contact channels.
The bottom line: - Veterans Of Now is recruiting help now to staff a pair of Flint events that mix remembrance, resource access and community participation.
