Volunteer This Weekend: 18th Street Park Project

Help Build a Community Park at Rhode Island & 18th Street

Brad Wales and a dedicated crew of volunteers are back at it Saturday and Sunday, October 24th & 25th, continuing work on the 18th Street Park at the corner of Rhode Island and 18th Street. This weekend’s tasks include installing the swinging gates that connect Urban Roots to the park, grading the ground, and grouting the beautiful tiles crafted by neighborhood kids.

We need your hands! Whether you have an hour or the whole day, every bit helps. Five Points Bakery will provide food for volunteers, but contributions of snacks or dishes are greatly appreciated to keep the crew energized. There will also be horseshoe pits across the street—bring your shoes for some friendly competition.

Volunteers with tile experience or a keen eye for detail are especially needed for the grouting work. Wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty—this is hands-on, rewarding fun.

Please RSVP so we can plan meals and tasks. Email Melissa at Five Points Bakery: Melissa@FivePointsBakery.com. Let’s build something beautiful together!
