Give Some Back This Holiday Season: 3 Ways to Help Around Tracy Giving back doesn’t have to mean endless time, money and resources. Sometimes it can look like packing groceries, washing a load of clothes for someone in need or sharing breakfast for a good cause. This holiday season, multiple Tracy-based organizations are offering ways to make a difference, including ongoing volunteer opportunities to help neighbors meet an everyday need. Tracy Community Connections Center: Laundry Program Tuesdays and Thursdays | Volunteer shifts: 8:30 – 11 AM or 11 AM – 1 PM | Redemption Road Church, 72 E.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the program helps people wash and dry their clothes at Redemption Road Church, and volunteers help keep everything operating smoothly. Volunteer tasks may include greeting visitors and helping with check-in, moving laundry from washers to dryers, preparing or handing out food and helping set up and clean up.
