Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars Of Community Service Projects To Be Completed By South Bay & Harbor Residents, Businesses And Non-Profit Organizations
10th Annual Sharefest Workday Volunteers, Partnering Organizations and Businesses will complete over 200 projects at over 40 locations
TORRANCE, Calif., May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Saturday, May 4, Sharefest Community Development will rally thousands of volunteers for its 10th Annual Sharefest Workday Community Building Event. In the course of just one day over 200 community improvement projects at over 40 locations in the South Bay and Harbor areas will be completed totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars.
May 4, 2013 will mark 10 years of bringing together non-profits, faith-based organizations and businesses such as Kaiser Permanente, Edison International, The Home Depot Foundation, King's Harbor Church and The Boy Scouts of America - to complete thousands of hours of community service in order to improve the greater South Bay and Harbor region.
By mobilizing partnerships across the South Bay and Harbor area, this event promotes creative collaboration for positive community change. It gives businesses an opportunity and outlet to give back, it gives youth the chance to volunteer their time and get engaged and it gives local community members an opportunity to witness and participate in sustainable change that will last much longer than one day.
One project already completed in response to this event was the beautification of Jefferson Middle School in Torrance, CA, which included tile installation and painting of the multipurpose room thanks in part to Balfour Beatty Construction and Crenshaw Baptist Church. Building off of this success, we are looking forward to May 4 and excited to complete even more projects.
