Description

Celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by spending the morning making a real difference for our kids!    

We’re looking for volunteers to help transform Leo Benewell Play Spot into a brighter, safer, and more welcoming place where kids can grow, play, and thrive. 

Here’s what we’ll be doing: 

  • Repairing and painting benches and seating

This is a family-friendly service project, perfect for anyone who wants to get creative, spend time with neighbors, and see the results of their hard work instantly. Bring your energy, your smiles, and your helping hands!   

Your time and heart will help create a play space full of joy and possibility.
