Renew the Block - Rotary Volunteer Day

We’re excited to share an upcoming collaborative volunteer day for all area Rotary Clubs, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity of the Greater La Crosse Region!
 
We are bringing together Rotarians from across the Coulee Region for a Rotary Volunteer Day on Saturday, April 11, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the ReNew the Block site on the north side of La Crosse.  
 
Volunteers will work together on a variety of projects, including:
  • Building rain barrels
  • Constructing raised garden beds
  • Painting
  • Spring maintenance (mulching, weeding, and general cleanup)
We’re hoping to recruit at least 50 volunteers to complete all of the tasks. Rotarians will be able to sign up for the type of work they’re most interested in, and all activities will be led by Habitat staff and experienced lead volunteers to ensure a positive and well-supported experience.
 
 
Volunteers will need to create an account, select a volunteer role, and complete a safety waiver to secure their spot. This is all done easily online. Additional details will be emailed to participants ahead of the volunteer day. Lunch will be provided!
 
Note:  You don't have to be a Rotarian to sign up. Feel free to sign a friend or family member up if you wish!
