Volunteer:

The need for volunteers is limited at this time. However, City of Lakes Nordic Ski Foundation, Nice Ride Minnesota, and Surly Brewing are organizing clean-up crews for:

Thursday, May 26
Two shifts: 8:45 a.m.-1:00 p.m. and 12:45 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.

All volunteers must check-in at Urban Homeworks, 1823 Emerson Ave. North and get a wristband. Parking is very limited in the storm damage area so please meet at the Wirth Park Chalet parking lot at 8:30 a.m. (for the first shift) or 12:30 p.m. (for the second shift) and carpool. If you are running late, go directly to Urban Homeworks.  

Please wear boots and gloves and bring chain saws, safety glasses, hand saws, leaf rakes, shovels, wheel barrows, and a water bottle. If you have a pick-up truck that can be use to move tools and haul debris, please bring it.  

 
To register as a volunteer, please send an email to volunteer@niceridemn.org and let them know if you have tools and/or special skills.

Thank you.
