City of Davis Seeking Volunteers For Community Day of Service

DAVIS, CA -- If you're a civic-minded resident of Davis, the city could really use your help one day a few weeks from now.

That's because in conjunction with the City of Davis’ yearlong Centennial Celebration, the city and local community groups are hosting a one-day community day of service on Saturday, April 29, with the goal of bringing residents and community groups together to engage in meaningful service for the community.

The city and local organizations are hosting volunteer projects for anyone wishing to participate. The City of Davis, faith-based groups, service organizations, and other community groups are working together in hosting the event the past three years.

This year the variety of project and projects sites have expanded to include parks, schools, open space, the library and others.

To kick off the event, the city along with the Davis Community Day of Service Committee, hosts a Kick-off Pancake Breakfast for all volunteers, sponsored by the Davis Police Officers Association.

The event is a family friendly day and people of all ages are encouraged to attend, but children under 14 must be chaperoned by an adult.
