Resident volunteer invites students and community to JustServe event on Sept. 12
Summary
Paula Avey, a longtime Jurupa Valley resident and volunteer with JustServe, invited students and residents to a community-service day on Sept. 12 (9–11:30 a.m.) near Euclid and Francis in Ontario, listing activities and a concurrent blood drive.
Paula Avey, who identified herself as a 40-year resident and a volunteer with JustServe, used public comment to invite volunteers, especially students in service clubs, to participate in a community-service day on September 12 from 9 to 11:30 a.m. at a church near Euclid and Francis Streets in Ontario. Avey described a range of volunteer projects — writing letters to deployed military members, making placemats for Meals on Wheels and crafting yarn wigs — and noted an on-site blood drive running from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Avey said last year’s event partnered seven churches and about 14 nonprofits and encouraged students to attend both for service hours and to build leadership and civic experience. "It would be great to have them come," she said, describing the event as a chance for families and students to serve and earn verified service hours.
