For Life Technologies' Global Volunteer Day, they graciously donated their time and energy to North County Community Services. On May 11, 2011, over 60 Life Technologies employees volunteered a total of 220 hours at one of NCCS's sites. The work they did enhanced and rejuvenated one of our preschools and our large garden on North River Road in Oceanside. We thank Life Technologies for their generous support and completion of a number of important projects. They came with bright smiles and an eagerness to work hard, finish tasks, solve problems, and have fun. The projects they helped us with include:
- Preparing our garden for the coming season (read: lots of weeding)
- Building adult picnic tables to seat 30
- Providing and filling a white sand beach in our playground sand box
- Building scarecrows
- Harvesting about 140 lbs of lettuce, kale, chard, onions, cilantro, and green beans
- Replanting many garden beds with seeds and seedlings
- Planning and painting a mural on our on-site storage unit
- and more!
Thankfully, we had a gorgeous day for the project. Fun was had by all, and we accomplished a whole lot! You can check out the full album of pictures on our Facebook page! Do you want to get involved? Don't worry, there are still many more projects to complete; you can help once or regularly, as a group or as an individual. Just let us know you are interested in volunteering and we can get you started! Email Abby at volunteer@sdnccs.org for more information.
