Mormon Helping Hands Day!

Please come and help clean-up Santee! 

Everyone in the East County Community, regardless of faith, are invited to join in this worthwhile event. 

Those bright and yellow vests will be seen busy in action on Saturday, April 28 by members and friends of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who will be joining together across the state of California to serve the communities where we live.

The 2012 annual "Mormon Helping Hands" Day of service will benefit communities, parks, schools and families of California. 

In Santee, an estimated 250 volunteers will clean-up, beautify and restore an area of the San Diego River Trail. The area is adjacent to the Santee Walmart along the San Diego River.

Wear your gloves and bring yard tools: hula hoes, shovels, rakes, loppers, cutters, along with wheelbarrows, wagons and sledgehammers. There is a variety of projects to complete including trail maintenance, fencing installation, concrete breakdown and fencing removal, water primrose and tamarisk removal, along with general trash clean-up in the entire park.

Helping Hands volunteers will gather at 9:00 a.m. at the Northeast Pavilion in the Walmart Parking Lot.

Meet at the Northeast Pavilion in the Walmart Parking Lot,  Adjacent to Michael’s in Santee. We will give you a color-coded card which assigns you to a task. Team leaders will direct each task and offer guidance as you serve. Water will be available. Wear comfortable shoes, suncreen and a hat.  

Thanks to the city of Santee, the San Diego River Park Foundation, Santee Kiwanis and Santee-Lakeside Rotary Clubs who will be joining our efforts.
