How to Participate in Make a Difference Day

The Volunteer Center of San Gabriel Valley and the City of Monrovia are hosting the 22nd Annual Make a Difference Day, on Saturday, Oct. 27.

Make a Difference Day matches volunteers with local community service projects. In a single day, more than 300 volunteers will complete projects in the community through painting, tree planting, landscaping, e-waste recycling, a blood drive, a canned food drive, and helping residents needing home repairs. Participating organizations and volunteers include Fellowship Monrovia, Kiwanis of Monrovia, Rotary Club of Monrovia, Rebuilding Together, Foothill Unity Center, Bank of America volunteers, Kaiser Permanente volunteers, Boy Scouts, and more!

Volunteers will gather at 7:30 a.m. at Monrovia Library Park. For further information about volunteering and sponsorship, contact the Volunteer Center of San Gabriel Valley at (626) 256-8187.
