Thank you to ALL who came out to participate in Week Two of September of Service! With nearly 20 volunteers from New Hope Church Concord, Las Lomas High School, @Noor Islamic Community Center of Concord CA, a local Boy Scout Troop, and other committed community members, and support from Public Works staff, we were able to plant 15 additional trees and spread mulch around the new and established trees at Bayview Circle Park!
Contra Costa Neighbors: September is #EmergencyPreparednessMonth, a reminder that staying ready is something we do together as a community. When disasters disrupt phone and internet service, groups like the MDARC - Mount Diablo Amateur Radio Club can help keep vital communication flowing. Their trained volunteer operators support first responders and help neighbors stay informed during wildfires, earthquakes, and other emergencies.
