Fall Fix-Up

If you want to make a difference in our community, you can participate in Fall Fix-Up on Saturday, October 7 from 7:30 a.m. until noon.

At Fall Fix-Up, volunteers will work together to fill hundreds of bags of trash, cut down invasive species along the Smoky Hill River, fill dumpsters with green waste, collect tires, restore a home porch, clean public sculptures, and build rain barrels for give-away.

If you volunteer, you can pick which project you’d like to work on, and tools will be provided.

For more information, call Jane Anderson at (785) 493-8491.
