Hello there! Spring has arrived, and we’d love your help with spring yard clean-up! Come join us as we shake off winter, clean up yards, and help our community start the season fresh. This volunteer opportunity helps community members who may need extra assistance getting their yards ready for the season. All ages welcome -just bring gloves, your good energy, and a smile! Please let me know if your 4H group is willing to lend a helping hand during the months of April and May. As an expression of our sincere appreciation, we will be making a small donation to every 4H group who volunteers. Thank you for considering!
