We canceled our volunteer work party scheduled for December 13, 2025 due to the historic flood event brought on by this week’s atmospheric river.

Flooding in lowland areas has prompted road closures, and forced many in our community to close their businesses and evacuate their homes.

Instead of volunteering with us, we encourage you to spend this weekend helping our community recover.
