City Of Redlands: Volunteers Joining With City For Day Of Service June 19

Press release from the City of Redlands:

May 27, 2021

More than 1,000 volunteers are expected to turn out June 19 for
the 12th Annual Community Day of Service, sponsored by the City
of Redlands, the Redlands Service Club Council and the Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but there’s still need for
more volunteers. This year volunteers will be working on
community projects in five areas of the City, including State
Street, Brookside Avenue, Ford Park, Kimberly Crest and the
Redlands Sports Park.

The Volunteer Day of Service has become an annual event and grows
more successful each year. Planning takes nearly a year with the
City and the Redlands Service Club Council in partnership with
members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Volunteers will beautify the median along Brookside Avenue
between Buena Vista and Center streets, the planters along State
Street between Orange and Seventh streets and at Ed Hales Park,
and the grounds of Kimberly Crest. At the Redlands Sports Park,
volunteers will paint fences surrounding the park. At Ford Park,
volunteers will work to stabilize the banks of the park’s upper
pond while also re-establishing a hardscaped pad perimeter for
visitors.

Sack lunches for all volunteers will be provided by the Kiwanis
Club of Redlands.

The Redlands Service Club Council was formed in 2008 to offer
assistance to the City through cooperative work projects and
capital improvements. Working with the City’s Facilities and
Community Services Department, the Service Club Council made
renovation of Sylvan Park its first major project for 2009. Since
then the Service Club Council and the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints have taken on increasingly ambitious projects
at Israel Beal Park, Prospect Park, the Redlands Bowl,
landscaping the Redlands Boulevard median and creating an entire
park in a day at Heritage Park.

Individuals, families, community groups, businesses and other
organizations are encouraged to participate in the workday. For
