Community members can get their hands dirty by helping GIVE 365 volunteers add plans to the Huron River shoreline.

Volunteers will welcome participants, assist with parking, help set up and take down tables and chairs, pass out information, pick up trash, organize kids activities and show guess sustainable waste practices.

Open volunteer times are available at different times between 9:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. Some responsibilities will take different amounts of time.
