One positive outcome of the covid pandemic has been a sharp uptick in volunteering and community service. We are indebted to HandsOn Bay Area for steering hundreds of volunteers our way over the last two years. The nonprofit posts our monthly workdays in their calendar of volunteer opportunities, attracting families, youth groups, and corporate teams from all over the Bay Area. Here, a group pauses after pulling weeds, picking up litter, and pruning our established plants. Come show your support by joining us — the first Saturday of each month, 10 a.m. to noon.
