Community Benefits from Day of Caring

As part of of the 15th annual Day of Caring, nearly 500 Humboldt State University students, staff and faculty, local citizens and AmeriCorps members contributed a sum total of more than 1,200 hours of service at over 30 different sites in our community.

Beaches were cleaned, trees were planted, not-for-profit agencies had their service sites revitalized and food was packed for emergency relief. Volunteers donated blood along with their sweat. The Northern California Blood Bank collected at the post-service barbeque.  

It is important to recognize the wonderful contributions of the Kiwanis Club of Eureka, Henderson Center Kiwanis Club, and the Humboldt Bay Kiwanis Club, who worked together to continue their generous tradition of feeding this army of volunteers. All three clubs donated significant amounts of time, energy and money to the project of “serving those who serve.” Please join us in extending our gratitude to all the volunteers and to the agency representatives who set up meaningful service opportunities.
