The 11th annual Community Service Day takes place Saturday, September 21. This major citywide event mobilizes thousands of volunteers to complete dozens of service projects throughout Folsom.
Community Service Day needs more than 1,000 volunteers to complete projects throughout the city. The majority of the projects don’t require any special skills other than a willingness to pitch in where needed and a desire to make a positive and lasting impact in the community. Early registration is encouraged as project teams fill quickly. Learn more and register to volunteer at folsomcommunityservice.org.
