Make a Difference Day at Wenatchee River Institute
Mark your calendars for a day of community action! Wenatchee River Institute invites all local residents to participate in "Make a Difference Day" on Saturday, Oct. 28. The event promises an opportunity to leave a positive impact on our neighborhood.
The focal point of this volunteer-driven initiative is the E. Lorene Young Community Garden, where volunteers will be working tirelessly to revamp the garden's planter boxes. The original planter boxes, having served their useful life, will be dismantled and replaced with brand new cedar planters. These freshly crafted planters are set to play a vital role in growing food and flowers for the neighborhood over the next decade.
"Make a Difference Day" is a family-friendly event, encouraging all age groups to get involved. If you're worried about tools and materials, fret not! The organizers have ensured that all the necessary materials and hand tools will be provided for the volunteers.
To participate in this event, please RSVP at Wenatcheeriverinstitute.org.
