Day of Caring community service projects planned Monday in Clallam County

Volunteers will work on community projects during United Way of Clallam County’s Day of Caring on Monday.

This year, United Way hosted two sessions of the Day of Caring. The first session Friday saw volunteers working with Dream Playground Foundation members to paint, rake and shovel new bark at the playground at Third and Race streets; with the AmeriCorps and Lions Club volunteers to clean up the 9/11 Waterfront Memorial Park, recently renamed from Francis Street Park; and with the staff from US Bank to clean up the parking lot at Second and Lincoln streets.

On Monday, volunteer opportunities are planned in Port Angeles and Sequim.

In Port Angeles, volunteers will meet:

• From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Olympic Peninsula YMCA at 302 S. Francis St. to paint the white house and help with garden beds.

Snacks and water will be sponsored by Crestview and Park View Villas.

• From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Lutheran Community Services Northwest at 2634 S. Francis St. to weed flower beds and spread bark.

Rotary volunteers will build a little free library.

In Sequim, volunteers will meet from 8 p.m. to noon at Carrie Blake Park, 202 N. Blake Ave., to work alongside city staff to remove brush near Blake Avenue and spread bark and gravel.

To register, see the United Way website at www.unitedwayclallam.org or the agency’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/events/901990236621252.

In Jefferson County, the United Good Neighbors’ seventh annual Day of Caring will be Sept. 23.
