Citrus Heights is calling on residents and community groups to roll up their sleeves for the city’s upcoming Chip-In Day volunteer event. The fall edition will be held on Saturday, Oct. 11, from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and volunteers will gather at City Hall before heading to the project site.
This season’s efforts will focus on revitalizing the landscaped area at the Sylvan Road and Stock Ranch Road roundabout. Volunteers can expect to help spread bark and plant new trees.
City staff will provide volunteers with a continental breakfast, water, and pizza for lunch, according to the city’s announcement. As well, there will be chances to win raffle prizes.
All ages are welcome to volunteer. The city’s regular “Chip-In Days” are designed to foster community pride while enhancing the beauty of Citrus Heights’ public spaces, the city said.
Past “Chip-in Days” have seen volunteers helping to refresh the grounds at City Hall and the Citrus Heights Police Department.
Those interested in participating can learn more and sign up through the city’s Volunteer Hub or by visiting the city’s website.
