On Wednesday, Sept. 15, New York Mills High School students are volunteering a Day of Caring. Students will be working on outdoor projects for senior citizens, military veterans, agencies, non-profits, and/or people who may have a special circumstance that prevents them from doing outdoor projects (an illness, injury, or special need).
Students will do projects within NY Mills city limits, and the project will include raking lawns, cleaning out gardens, trimming hedges, and other outdoor projects as needed. The projects will start at 8:30 a.m. and go until 12 p.m.
Day of Caring is a mobilization of volunteers to celebrate the spirit of giving through service by providing a day of meaningful volunteer opportunities to individuals of the community.
