Volunteers from West Chandler and other city neighborhoods are needed for national Make a Difference Day.
On this day, Chandler is partnering with several nonprofit organizations to support residents for the fifth annual For Our City Day. Hundreds of volunteers will work together on a variety of neighborhood improvements projects. This year’s event is scheduled from 6 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Oct. 24, at Navarette Park, 501 W. Harrison St. Volunteers will begin their projects shortly after the planned 6 a.m. check-in. “This is an annual event where Chandler residents, city staff, nonprofits and the faith-based community come together to help their fellow neighbors,” said Vice Mayor Kevin Hartke.
“It’s wonderful to see an entire neighborhood benefit from the generosity and time from our volunteers.” Some of the projects will include yard work, alley cleanup, landscaping, painting street curb numbers, improvements to a nearby park, smoke detector checks, plumbing, A/C, appliance and carpentry repairs, electrical work, removal of palm trees and more.
Large roll-off containers also will be available throughout the surrounding neighborhood to dispose of litter and debris. There is a need for an experienced Bobcat operator, palm tree trimmers (licensed and bonded), professional carpenters, concrete finishers and plumbers, as well as sheet rock and window installers.
