Call for Volunteers
Posted on September 17, 2012 by bgbmo
We are hosting a Tip the Block volunteer event next Thursday 20 from 8:30 am- 12 pm in Leonidas. We are a little short on volunteers now so I was hoping that maybe you could help us spread the word to any locals who might be able to come by and work with us on that date? Would it be possible to put out a call for volunteers on your website or social media? Volunteers will help with vegetable garden builds, storm drain cleaning and marking, and neighborhood clean-up. Anyone who is interested should e-mail me at jessica.mp@greenlightneworleans.org.
Thanks
Jessica
