Volunteer Day seeks project sites

Volunteer Day seeks project sites

Published on January 08, 2026

One of Lakewood's enduring traditions is Volunteer Day, where residents of all ages help their neighbors in need and make the community a better place. This year's event will be held on Saturday, April 18.

More than 300 volunteers will fan out that day to locations throughout Lakewood to donate a morning's work to help their neighbors in need. Teams of volunteer workers from scout troops, schools, clubs, businesses, organizations and religious congregations will assist residents who are unable to maintain their properties themselves.

The Volunteer Day program is looking for project sites for this year's cleanup and fix-up event.

Recipients of Volunteer Day aid can be seniors or persons of any age who, because of a disability or limited means, need some neighborly help to make their Lakewood yard or home exterior a little nicer. Work can include gardening, yard cleanup or minor painting.

The proposed project sites are reviewed by city staff for eligibility and suitability. If you, or someone you know, can benefit from a Volunteer Day cleanup project and meet the selection criteria, please go to lakewoodca.gov/volunteerdaysite to submit an application online, or call the Burns Community Center at .
