Description

On Saturday, November 4, we will be volunteering in Medical Lake providing physical labor assistance in cleaning up the devastation from the Gray Fire. This will be light to heavy duty work cleaning up burnt tree branches, limbs, and other vegetation for people to gain back their property and eventually rebuild their homes.

In addition to the physical need, the Medical Lake community deserves our spiritual/emotional support. With a population of 2,000 people, everyone was affected by the fire in one way or another.  

**

!! This event is organized by a group that does not carry insurance for volunteers. You will be asked to sign a liability release and should have your own.

 

8:30am-1:00pm
