Community members are being invited to come together to help clean up storm debris during a community-wide effort at WACO Jr./Sr. High School.
School officials are grateful for the strength and support shown by the community and are organizing the cleanup for this morning. Crews from several companies with large machinery have agreed to assist with removing major debris, helping speed up recovery efforts.
At the same time, volunteers are still greatly needed to help tackle smaller cleanup tasks. Jr./Sr. High School students will also have the option to participate in the cleanup during the school day if they choose.
Community members who are able to help are asked to gather at 10:00 a.m. at the high school, with parking available near the Eichelberger Agri-Science Center. Volunteers are encouraged to wear gloves, long pants, and boots to help stay safe while working.
Local businesses are also stepping up to support volunteers. Your Choice Family Restaurant has offered to donate pizzas to help feed those taking part in the cleanup effort.
School leaders are thankful for the opportunity to stand shoulder to shoulder with staff, students, and community members as recovery efforts continue.
