Volunteers make great things happen!💚

This Friday at our United Way Day of Caring and International Coastal Cleanup, we had an amazing group of volunteers come together to collect and track litter, work on beautification projects, and prepare our shed for the upcoming season. 🌳✨

A huge thank-you to the Norfolk Master Gardeners for leading the ground-breaking of our new Learning Circle at Lafayette Park!

Thank you to Mark Uren, President and CEO of United Way of South Hampton Roads, and representative Precious Jackson for visiting and joining in on the fun! 🎉 We were also joined by a mighty group from Sentara Health IT led by Mary Justice, OV Sea Hags, Julie and Helene, and Kat Martin, the local coordinator for ICC from Clean Virginia Waterways plus our incredible team of Norfolk Master Gardeners 👏! We are so grateful 🙏 for you ALL!
