There is an old saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch. That may still be true, but if you hold up your hand and choose to volunteer Sept. 9, there is a free lunch and T-shirt in store for you. The fall Keep Fishers Beautiful volunteer opportunity has all that and much more.
The theme is “Roadways and Waterways.” Here is what is planned for this 8 a.m. to noon project:
- Individuals or groups interested in volunteering with the White River Clean Up, are encouraged to register in advance or on site the morning of the event. Volunteers of all ages are welcome, but parental supervision is required during the event.
- Individuals or groups interested in completing work in other areas will be charged with projects along various roads in Fishers. Additional details, including specific locations, will be disclosed closer to the event. Pre-registration is appreciated by Aug. 28 and can be completed by emailing Dan Domsic or calling him at (317) 595-3151. Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older.
“A climate of collaboration within Fishers is something I’m in strong favor of creating and maintaining,” said Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release. “Perhaps the ultimate testament of that collaboration is Keep Fishers Beautiful. The event hosts volunteers, business owners, employees, residents, and other community organizations, all working to make Fishers the most vibrant community it can be.”
The city furnishes all the supplies. Groups are encouraged to sign-up together.
