Love Fullerton is going to be epic!!

 

We hope you will consider participating in our first annual citywide service day called Love Fullerton on May 17, 2014.  

 

It is a partnership of 20+ churches, city government, the Mayor and City Council, the Chief of Police, local businesses, service organizations, public and private education, and local residents all working together to enhance the world-class experience of living and working in our city.

Our mission is to demonstrate kindness, meet needs and impact lives together. We are planning for 2,000 volunteers serving at 50+ different work projects. Along the way we'll paint benches, teach life skills to at risk youth and spruce up some neighborhoods.

 

We will begin the day with opening festivities at 8 a.m. - which includes free food and vendors - followed by an opening rally at 9 a.m. The rally will take place on the plaza at Harbor and Wilshire Ave (121 E. Wilshire Ave). After the brief rally, volunteers will connect with project leaders for final instructions and head off to work by 9:30a.m. Then at 1p.m. we will gather back together at Hillcrest Park and enjoy lunch together (compliments of Jack Franklyn of Heroes).

 

So grab your friends, classmates, club members, and LOVE Fullerton!
