Needs
Financial donations support ongoing and new projects for park beautification, maintenance, and educational programs. Donations ensure the sustainability of our efforts and allows for the expansion of initiatives.
Volunteers are an essential part of our organization and assist with park clean-ups, plantings, educational events, and community outreach.
Additionally, we are seeking corporate sponsorships. Partnering with local businesses for financial support, in-kind donations, and collaborative events will strengthen community ties and can provide essential resources for large-scale projects.
We also accept in-kind donations. This allows us to secure materials such as plants, gardening tools, educational materials, and other supplies. This reduces costs, can keep items from landfills, and ensures we have the necessary tools for various projects and events.
