Why are we serving here?

One of the ways ForColumbia strives to love and serve our neighbors is by working in locations that benefit the entire community. This year, we are excited to serve once again at various locations within Columbia Public Schools, including Blue Ridge Elementary School. Serving at our public schools is one way we can say “thank you” to the teachers and staff who are actively working in the lives of our children every day. This is why we think your day will be well spent serving Blue Ridge Elementary School.

What can I expect?

Volunteers will be working outdoors at Blue Ridge:

• Mulching and planting around the property, including a courtyard area;
• Painting the lettering on the school’s sign;
• Painting tables and benches used outside, and;
• Other projects as identified.

What should I bring?

• If you have a garden rake or gardening tools, please bring them.
• Come prepared to work outside; if sunny, we encourage you to consider bringing sunscreen and/or a hat.
• We encourage all volunteers to wear closed-toed shoes.
• Be sure to wear your #ForColumbia2023 T-shirt!

Can I serve here with my children?

Yes, this is a great location to serve as a family with elementary-aged kids who can help!
