DONATE NOW

Volunteer with environmental organizations in the 757 for a more resilient Hampton Roads. From the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and the Chesapeake Bay to the Elizabeth and Lynnhaven rivers, our ecosystem does not recognize city lines. The collective efforts of local partners transform the 757 from a collection of coastal towns into a unified force for environmental restoration.

Your local environmental nonprofits cannot do this work without you, our dedicated volunteers. Join us for Volunteer Eco-Bingo, a region-wide challenge that connects you with meaningful environmental projects right here in the 757 with the goals of increasing water quality, making our shorelines and cities more resilient, and building a community that actively cares for our environment.

  • Volunteer for projects listed on the bingo card between NOW and JULY 11, 2026
    • Find opportunities and sign-ups at the links below
    • Be sure to have the event leader initial and date the space after every project
  • When you complete a line of 5 (up & down, left to right, or diagonal), email a photo of your card to volunteer@lrnow.org
    • Partner Prize Bags will be available for pickup June 15 – July 15, 2026 at the Elizabeth River Project (NFK) or Lynnhaven River Now (VB)
    • Or you can turn in your card and receive your prize in-person when you volunteer at the ERP x LRN Summer River Cleanup on July 11th

We’re stronger when we work together! DOWNLOAD AND PRINT YOUR BINGO CARD HERE or pick up a copy from ERP or LRN Offices.
