Beautify St. Louis Park Help beautify St. Louis Park by picking up litter and debris from a local park or street! This is a great activity for individuals and groups of all ages and can be done on your own time. Use your own bags and gloves, and volunteers can leave their bags in the garbage cans located at each park. If bags are too large for trash cans, email Laura Smith at lsmith@stlouispark.org. Volunteers are invited to post their pictures on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram and tag the City of St. Louis Park (@stlouispark)!
Senior Community Services volunteer Volunteers are a valuable addition and allow Senior Community Services to serve more participants in their Home & Outdoor Maintenance (HOME) program. Volunteers tackle outdoor chores as the leaves start to change, clear ice and snow when the flakes begin to fly and help with an expanding technology Support Program. For more information or to volunteer, visit seniorcommunity.org. Email reimagineaging@seniorcommunity.org or call 952.541.1019 with questions. Senior Community Services is a nonprofit organization with a mission to innovate and deliver services that meet the changing needs of older adults and their caregivers.
