This weekend, we volunteered at the 2nd annual Merced Halloween Street Bash at Joe Herb Park. We decorated our trunk to be Squid Game themed, dressed up as the characters, and provided a special game! We loved seeing the kids’ costumes and smiles when they received candy and took pictures with us! 🎃

This Saturday, we volunteered at the Joe Herb Community Cleanup. It was an amazing turnout- many enthusiastic community members volunteered, there were plenty of snacks and drinks donated, plus the barbecue at the end was delicious. Led by Birdi Olivarez-Kidwell, we cleaned the entire stretch along Motel Drive.

Thank you to all the kind, wonderful people who donated to our food drive this weekend. It was a pleasant surprise seeing Mayor Matthew Serratto, Josh Pedrozo, and Angel Barragan making generous contributions.

We had a great time with our friends while supporting the community, and together, we collected 482 pounds of non-perishable goods and $138 of monetary donations.

We’re looking forward to our future projects to spread our love and kindness throughout Merced!

Today, we successfully hosted our first Community Clean-Up along the Lake Road bike path and Richard Bernasconi Park. Together, we collected over 6 bags of trash.

Special thanks to everyone who helped volunteer to make Merced a healthier, cleaner community!
