- Tools, gloves, instructions and snacks will be provided. Please come dressed for the weather, wear sturdy, closed toed shoes and bring a water bottle. Volunteers will be hiking about 1 mile to the worksite and will be working on uneven ground.

If you plan to bring children or guests you MUST reserve slots for them. The best way to do this is to create a Volunteer Team, then sign up your team for this project. In the spirit of creating an atmosphere where people from all parts of our community are coming together to volunteer,
Team Captains are only able to reserve up to 50% of the spots on any individual MLK Weekend of Service Project. Team Captains are required to provide names and email addresses for each team member (over the age of 13) in order to hold spaces on a volunteer project or they may be removed from the project.
