Day of Caring

The Day of Caring is serving the Alexandria School District by providing 1,000+ hours of community service through student service learning.

This service event is open to senior citizens, military veterans, community agencies, non-profit and/or anyone else who may have a special circumstance preventing them from completing outdoor projects (illness, injury, or other special need). A group of Alexandria Public School students along with a leader will come to your home for a minimum of 2 hours of work for approximately 10 people.

No cancelations please!
