The holiday season is long gone, but the helping spirit will be alive and well this weekend in Richmond.
The city’s Inaugural Day of Service is on Saturday, Jan. 11. This is a collaboration effort between the city and numerous local nonprofits to provide range of resources in areas of need.
This is taking place all across the city, meaning there are 100+ open volunteer slots for projects. Sign-ups are available online for these services and many require pre-registration.
Not sure where to join? We’ve done some research to make sure everyone can help out this weekend.
- If you are handy with tools: Check out one of these groups who will meet to fix chairs or build picnic tables.
- If you love the environment: Join a litter cleanup crew, like the one at Byrd Park.
- If you have a green thumb: Lend a hand at Gilpin Community Garden to prepare it for the upcoming season.
