The United Way of Reno County will host a Spring Residential Community Work Day on April 25, launching a new volunteer-driven initiative aimed at helping residents with outdoor and exterior home projects.
The one-day effort is designed to support neighbors who may be unable to complete routine maintenance on their own, with a focus on improving safety, accessibility and overall quality of life. Volunteers will assist with non-structural projects such as yard clean-up, debris removal, small tree or limb removal, exterior painting, flower bed care and fence repairs.
United Way of Reno County is accepting nominations for residents who could benefit from assistance. Priority will be given to households that are elderly, disabled, lower income, ALICE households — an acronym for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed — or those experiencing hardship. Organizers ask nominators to provide detailed information to help match projects with volunteer teams.
Volunteers of all skill levels are encouraged to participate. Participants will work in teams at selected homes and complete outdoor projects intended to make neighborhoods safer, cleaner and more connected. Individuals, friends and groups are all welcome to sign up.
Organizers say the initiative addresses a common challenge for many residents who face physical limitations, financial constraints or unexpected setbacks that can make basic outdoor maintenance overwhelming.
