Monthly park clean-ups on last Sunday of the month.

We alternate picking up litter at Rolling Hills and Tabor Park.
Picking up litter in parks helps protect everyone from injury and keeps natural spaces clean. It improves the look and safety of the park, making it more enjoyable for families and visitors. Regular litter cleanup also builds community pride and encourages others to respect and care for shared public spaces.

Saturday before Easter

Easter egg hunts bring the community together by creating a fun, shared experience for families and children. They encourage social connection, volunteerism, and local involvement while helping build traditions that strengthen community pride. These events also provide a safe, positive environment for children to celebrate and create lasting memories with neighbors and friends. 

Saturday after Thanksgiving

The purpose of Salvation Army bell ringing is to raise funds that support critical community services such as food assistance, shelter, disaster relief, and holiday aid for families in need. It also raises public awareness about poverty and encourages generosity and compassion during the holiday season. Beyond fundraising, bell ringing gives community members a visible, meaningful way to serve and make a direct local impact. 

2nd Saturday in December

Breakfast with Santa gives foster families a joyful, low-pressure opportunity to build positive memories together, which is especially meaningful for children who may have experienced instability or trauma. The event helps foster families feel supported and included by the community, reducing isolation and strengthening trust. It also provides children with a sense of belonging during the holiday season.
