Volunteers with gather at the Conway Sports & Fitness Center beginning at 8 am for breakfast provided by Bojangles and registration. Volunteers will be shuttled over to the worksite.

Once on-site, volunteers will be doing all the landscaping on the 9.7-acre community including planting trees, bushes, shrubs, laying straw, and even building benches and planter boxes for residents. Volunteers will also receive lunch onsite provided by Red Robin and t-shirts.
