Members
of the region’s Mormon churches will partner with West Sacramento groups to put
hundreds of volunteers to work rejuvenating the Riverwalk Park
and Bryte and Alyce Norman parks, they have announced.
April 30 is a community service day for members
of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, which has a worship
facility on Linden Road
in West Sacramento. On Saturday, April 30,
they will join members of the Bryte and Broderick Community Action Group and
students from local schools (who will earn “community service” credit) on the
work day.
They plan to use donated goods to help build
and fix trails, plant 1,800 flowers and shrubs, plant trees, repair masonry and
fences, and perform carpentry and painting projects.
Boy Scouts will install and relocate drinking
fountains and assemble and install picnic benches and refurbish basketball
courts, added church spokesperson Susan Ramsden.
“We welcome the opportunity to partner with
the City and other community organization to demonstrate that the spirit of
volunteerism is alive and well in West Sacramento,” said resident Kimber
Goddard, one of the leaders of the 13 congregations in the Sacramento region.
