Volunteer for Alternative Spring Break projects in O’Fallon parks

Students are encouraged to sign up for projects to help O'Fallon City Parks over spring break.

 Students, faculty, and families staying in town over spring break are invited to register for community-inspired projects that will help prepare City parks for this year’s seasonal activities.

 “To promote an increase in youth involvement, Alternative Spring Break projects are scheduled weekdays in conjunction with area school district and collegiate spring breaks,” said Kathy Halstead, Manager of O’Fallon’s Volunteer Services Division. “Through these park-based projects, volunteers assist the City’s Landscaping Division  by planting flowers and ornamental grasses, transplanting cuttings, creating flower baskets, and mulching trees and flower beds. Playground projects focus on power washing equipment and spreading wood fibers for safer play.”

 To register for the Alternative Spring Break, contact Volunteer Services at 636-379-5408 or volunteer@ofallon.mo.us. For more information about volunteering, visit www.ofallon.mo.us/Volunteer.
