Volunteers Sow Seeds of Kindness During Unite Arlington Community Service Projects

Kindness and can-do spirit were on full display Oct . 3 as 750 volunteers tackled dozens of community projects across The American Dream City .
The Unite Arlington community service weekend was organized by Engage Arlington , a collaboration of churches seeking to create a communitywide movement of working together for the betterment of Arlington . During Unite Arlington , volunteers participated in efforts such as much-needed home repairs and yard maintenance for seniors , school beautification projects and public park clean ups . More than 100 projects in total were completed .
“ It ’ s awesome that people want to come out and be part of something in their community . We ’ re not just sowing seeds . What we are doing is making a positive contribution to the quality of life here in Arlington ,” said Kevin Donovan , a volunteer with Friends of O . S . Gray Natural Area . This effort typifies the can-do spirit of Arlington . People come out to help their neighbors because in a sense , we are all neighbors .”
