Make a Difference Day - Northeast Neighborhood Renewal
The Town of Wake Forest, the Northeast Community Coalition, Rebuilding Together for the Triangle, and a network of community partners are recruiting volunteers of all ages for “Make a Difference Day - Northeast Neighborhood Renewal” on Saturday, Oct. 23, at Taylor Street Park, 416 N. Taylor St.
Volunteers are needed from 9 a.m.-noon to help perform a range of tasks throughout the Northeast Community, including litter pickup, leaf sweeping and collection, storm drain stenciling, bulk waste removal, painting, gutter cleaning and more.
Local civic groups and community organizations are especially encouraged to participate. “Make a Difference Day” is also a great opportunity for local students to earn community service hours.
Everyone under 18 years of age must be accompanied by a parent or adult. Waiver of liability forms are required for all participants and included in the online registration form.
Know Before You Go
On the day of the event, volunteers are urged to dress appropriately for being outdoors by wearing protective clothing, sunscreen, insect repellent, hats, work gloves and appropriate close-toed shoes (no sandals or flip-flops).
Enjoy Lunch on Us
The event will conclude with a hotdog lunch for all volunteers from noon-1 p.m.
