How to Participate in Love Snoqualmie Valley Volunteer Day
Mark your calendar for Saturday, October 4th, when Love Snoqualmie Valley Volunteer Day kicks off at 9:00 AM at Valley Memorial Park, located at 31999 E Blanche Street in Carnation. The event will be led by Project Leader Rhonda Ender, who will guide volunteers through various tasks needed to improve this community space. The City of Carnation’s small public works crew works tirelessly throughout the year, but this 7-acre park with its multiple recreational areas needs extra hands to help it look its best for the upcoming season.
Ready to sign up? The process is simple! Just click the “HERE” link provided in the event announcement to register as a volunteer. Be sure to come prepared by wearing closed-toe shoes and weather-appropriate clothing that you don’t mind getting a little dirty. Gardening or work gloves are essential for your comfort and safety, as you may be handling various materials during cleanup activities. The organizers also suggest dressing for possible painting tasks. Remember, you’re welcome to participate for whatever time you can spare—even a single hour of your time will make a meaningful difference to this community space.
How to Make a Lasting Impact in Your Community Through Volunteer Work
Community transformation doesn’t always require large time commitments or specialized skills. At Love Snoqualmie Valley Volunteer Day, even dedicating a single hour of your time creates a ripple effect of positive change. When dozens of volunteers each contribute a small portion of their day, the collective impact becomes significant. The park’s public works crew will be able to focus on more complex maintenance needs while volunteers handle tasks like washing park benches, picking up fallen branches, and cleaning areas around the tennis and basketball courts—simple activities that dramatically improve the park’s appearance and functionality for all visitors.
Your hands-on efforts at Valley Memorial Park will address specific needs that enhance the space for everyone. By painting over graffiti, you’ll restore the park’s visual appeal and sense of care. When filling holes in the dog park, you’ll create a safer environment for pets and their owners. Washing benches provide clean seating for elderly visitors, parents watching their children play, or friends gathering to socialize. These seemingly small tasks collectively transform the park from merely functional to genuinely welcoming. Beyond the physical improvements, your participation sends a strong message about community pride and shared responsibility for our public spaces—inspiring others to contribute and nurturing a culture of civic engagement throughout Snoqualmie Valley.
