National Make a Difference Day was Saturday, 10/25. Here's a list of what various Safe Corps sites participated in:
Volunteer Center of Silicon Valley, ARC of Santa Clara, and ARC of Palo Alto: Green Challenge Event: For part of our project for Saturday, AmeriCorps will be assisting Our City Forest with transplanting trees to get them ready to be planted. Volunteers will transplant 5 gallon trees into 15 gallon buckets. For this project, we will be having 2 shifts from 9-11am and 11-1pm. The space at the Tree Bank is a bit limited and we do have a Kiwanis Club that will be helping us out too. Other projects planned include a general litter pickup and some CFL distribution into the surrounding neighborhoods.
