Do you enjoy gardening? Do you feel pride in your community? Would you like to give back to your community through volunteerism? The Improving Public Places Committee is a group of people sharing a common vision of beautifying various sites in South San Francisco. In order to fulfill that vision they need volunteers like you, whether you can donate your time for one day, for an entire project, or for upkeep of an area after completion of the project. You will receive one-on-one coaching before any project begins. Volunteers will assist with tasks such as planting new garden areas and trees, adding mulch, raking, weeding, trimming, watering, and general maintenance of an established public area. For more information on future projects, please call the Parks Division at (650) 829-3837 or email parks.volunteers@ssf.net.
