Sign Up to be a Volunteer
“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.”
2 Corinthians 9:7
Our Serbian Festival wouldn’t be possible without the generous help of our volunteers. We need friendly hands to assist with food prep, setup and teardown, and many other tasks in the weeks leading up to and on the day of the event. Your help makes all the difference—and you’ll be a part of the fun along the way!
For more information, contact Fr. Bratso (frbratso@sbcglobal.net) or Jadranka Bozinovska (JadrankaBozinovska@yahoo.com).

The San Diego Union Tribune
“Serbian Festival evolved from two women’s passion for the home cooking and culture they’d grown up with — and their determination to preserve it for future generations while sharing it with the greater San Diego community.”
