Belmont Serves

Belmont Serves

The time has once again come for the people of Belmont to roll up their sleeves and pitch in for a morning of serving their community. Organized by the Belmont Religious Council, the 6th Annual Belmont Serveswill be held on Columbus Day (Monday, October 13th). Volunteers will begin their day by choosing a project and then head out to get to begin working. Projects include:

• A door-to-door food drive for the Belmont Food Pantry
• Conservation land maintenance at Rock Meadow
• Claypit Pond cleanup and improvements
• Conservation projects at Lone Tree Hill (the former McLean property)
• Preparing an area for new plantings at Burbank Elementary School
• Planting the ticket booths at Harris Field on Concord Avenue

Belmont Serves will begin at 8:30 a.m. in the St. Joseph Parish Hall, at which time participants will pick their projects. Projects run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and end at 12:00 p.m., at which time there will be an ice cream celebration for participants back in the St. Joseph Parish Hall. If you cannot make the actual event itself, you can still help by preparing a bag of non-perishables (canned goods, paper items, toiletries) for the Belmont Food Pantry and leaving the bag outside your doorstep on the morning ofMonday, October 13th by 8:30 a.m.
