Spring Cleanup

Looking for ways to get involved locally and do a good turn for a neighbor who needs a bit of help with yard work or outside home repair this spring?

To mark its 30th year of community service, BPNN, in partnership with Thrivent Financial of Verona, is launching a series of pay-it-forward service days called Live Generous Verona.  Each day of service will help others in the community and provide an opportunity for creating a more caring, giving, and connected community.  It’s all about giving back to our community by helping others.

The first Live Generous Verona service day is on Saturday morning, April 30 with a community-wide Spring Cleanup effort.  Event organizers are looking for volunteers to help local homeowners with tasks the homeowner may not be able to do on their own, such as yard/garden cleanup or outdoor home repairs other than painting.

The day will kick off at 8:00 AM with a continental breakfast in the Community Room at the Badger Prairie Needs Network.  Volunteers will receive job assignments and head out into the community at 8:30.  Those who bring nonperishable food items for the food pantry will also receive a free Live Generous t-shirt.  At 12:45PM, volunteers return to BPNN for the free community meal and event wrap-up.

This is a great opportunity for families, teams, work and church groups, and service clubs to enjoy our beautiful spring weather while doing good.  Anyone interested in helping with this community-wide effort (or Verona homeowners interested in having volunteers help with outdoor tasks) should contact Kim at (608) 848-5150 or email BadgerPrairieAssociates@Thrivent.com.
