This Thursday, June 14th at the Forest Hills park, community volunteers will be working with the KaBOOM! organization to build the children of East Cleveland their first playground!! KaBOOM! is a national organization dedicated to creating a place to play within walking distance for every child in America. They collaborate with The Home Depot, and are working with the Community Development and Parks and Recreation departments in East Cleveland on this playground.
If you'd like to help out, your work is most appreciated. Volunteers are asked to arrive at the playground at 8:00 AM, where you will be assigned to a "Build Captain". You will work with a small team of volunteers to work on a part of the playground. You might help build picnic tables, install playground equipment, supervise children's activities (such as artwork and thank you cards) create a garden, or serve food to hungry volunteers (everyone will receive breakfast and lunch).
Location: Forest Hills park, in the lower valley. Use the entrance close to the intersection of Terrace and Forest Hills ave.
If you have any prizes that you'd like to donate to the event, this is also most appreciated. Please bring these items with you on June 14th. Thanks again!
