CITYWIDE SERVE DAY

October 1st, 2022

Thanks for considering being a part of the annual “Love Orange” Citywide community volunteer service day. We are honored to facilitate this time where our whole community can work together to practically serve and make a difference in our city. 

As churches, businesses, agencies and City Hall work together on this incredible day each year, our hope is that it connects us more with one another, creates more civic pride/concern, makes a difference in some very practical ways and leads to ongoing involvement by volunteers in various non-profits and organizations throughout the year.  

Together we can impact schools, neighborhoods, and non-profits causes in our city. As a leader in our community, we appreciate your willingness to leverage your influence to make our city better. 

We really hope you will seriously consider how you can play a part this year.

Here are 4 ways to get involved; you can do 1 or all based on your interest and capacity to engage (quicklinks). 

1. Volunteer during our Citywide Serve Day: Join us as a volunteer! Throughout the year we are always looking for people to get involved in making Orange a better place. We have projects for all ages and stages of life. Various projects on our site have included clearing a horse trail of bushes, painting a mural for a school, picking up trash on the side of the road and sending virtual encouragement cards to senior citizens. All are welcome to sign up!

2. Identify projects that could be done in our city:  They can be at a school, in your neighborhood, for a non-profit, at a church, for a local business that is struggling because of cutbacks with COVID ….  Simply go to www.LoveOrange.org  and under “City Wide Serve Day”, choose “Submit a Project.” It will go into the system and we will be in touch about next steps and identifying a project leader for that project. 

3. Be or recruit a Project Leader(s): Good reliable project leaders are integral to making Love Orange successful.  If you or people you know would like to serve in that way, give us their names and their contact info (cell # and email) and we’ll work with them on a project that they choose or we can match them to.  

4. Help to financially sponsor the event: Marketing, T-Shirts, the website, administrative support, supplies for the projects, these all cost money. You can be an event sponsor and get some recognition on our t-Shirts and promotional materials. (See Sponsorship Tab) There is no other serving event designed to collectively bring people together and impact our city like “Love Orange”.  

If you have any questions or would like to follow up with anything on this, please contact our Love Orange Team at loveorangeca@gmail.com and we will make sure you get what you need.  We appreciate your consideration and look forward to continuing the journey of learning how to be “better together.”
