The public is invited to join volunteers in Hilo, Puna and Ka‘u Saturday morning for the annual LDS Community Day of Service. Project locations will include Hilo High School, the Hilo Bayfront, Naalehu Elementary School, Pohoiki Park, Ainaola Baseball Park and the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium grounds. The main time period will be from 9 a.m.-noon, although some projects may start earlier and/or continue into the afternoon.
Registration will be on-site. When you arrive, look for workers in yellow vests, as some assignments will be spread out over a large area. Jobs entail painting fences, parking lot stalls, sidewalk curbings and poles; picking up trash, weeding and maintaining gardens, with all projects concentrating on beautification. Call for more info.
Volunteers are asked to bring their own paintbrushes and garden tools. Children are welcome, under parental supervision. The annual event formerly was known as the Mormon Helping Hands project. Contact Brother Eric Hubner at 585-957-5829 or hubner.eric@gmail.com.
