The Overfalls Foundation is in need of dynamic volunteers to help sustain the operations of a small, all-volunteer non-profit organization. No prior knowledge of the vessel is required.
The foundation’s mission is to protect and steward the Lightship Overfalls, the large red ships docked along the Lewis Canal, and to educate people about the lightship service and the maritime history of the local community. Volunteers are needed to help with tours, welcome center and museum shop, ship maintenance, communications, outreach, fundraising, event planning and advertising.
To introduce Overfalls Foundation facilities and these volunteer opportunities to potential volunteers, we will be hosting an information session on Thursday, April 11, from 6 to 8 pm at the Virden Center (1155 College Drive, Lewes). A light dinner will be provided. To participate, please RSVP to Ted Hack: volunteering@overfalls.org.
Overfalls was first launched in 1938. The ship was used as a floating lighthouse until it was decommissioned by the Coast Guard in 1972. The Coast Guard donated the ship to Lewis in 1973, and it later became a floating museum and was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2011. For more information, visit overfalls.org.
