United Way Day of Caring 2023

About the event: The Avalon Center's shelter grounds sit on five acres of beautiful green space. The communal shelter houses 12 to 15 beds as well as six two-bedroom apartments, administrative offices, life skills building, a playground and communal outdoor space. Jefferson Lab’s volunteers will help clean up this outdoor area: Flower beds need to be weeded and replanted, hedges need clipping, the playground area needs to be weeded and trimmed, some areas in the central communal green space area need to be cut back, and the grass needs to be mowed. Avalon provides a riding lawnmower, push lawnmowers, manual hedge clippers, rakes, bags, an edge trimmer and gasoline for the machines.

Please note:

• Your supervisor must concur with your participation by email to delucia@jlab.org before Monday, September 11th at 5:00 p.m.
• All volunteers will receive an email from the payroll department on instructions on charging your time.

We are so grateful to all employees who have volunteered their time in previous years towards these efforts and look forward to another year of assisting our community!
