The Beulah Boosters kick-off a community based volunteer program with a “Welcome to Summer in Beulah” picnic on June 28. Year-round and seasonal residents are invited, it will feature a picnic and children’s activities, as well as the opportunity for citizens to find out about events in which they might be interested in volunteering. The Boosters' goal is to support local groups by providing volunteers and financial resources in order to build cohesiveness in the community and to promote Beulah as a vacation destination.

The Beulah Boosters are an incorporated non-profit organization. Membership requires that individuals, families and local businesses volunteer to work on one community activity per year. Financial contributions are also accepted.
