OUR PROJECTS
Whether you want to volunteer, need some help, or want some education. We've got you covered.
Neighbor to Neighbor Program
Come help a neighbor with their yard.
Neighbor-to-Neighbor (NTN) links the efforts of our residents with community resources to assist senior citizens, physically challenged individuals, and others in the community who may need assistance in maintaining their property and are of modest financial means. All projects are conducted in Virginia Beach, VA during the Spring, Summer, and Fall.
Community volunteers who participate in this program learn about stewardship, conservation of natural resources, and also gain a sense of community pride. Click here to see scheduled NTN projects.

Rain Barrel Workshop
Help the Environment & have some fun doing it! Build your own Rain Barrel.
Using a rain barrel helps to preserve our natural resource - water.
​
Rain barrels are designed to capture rain water & store it until you need it. they benefit the environment, your plants & your budget.
​
-
You can use the collected rain water to water your plants & grass. Rain water is free of additives, such as chlorine & fluorides, that are regularly found in tap water. This makes for much healthier plants, especially fruits & vegetables. Additionally, rainwater is slightly acidic, which is a plus for many plants.
-
Rain barrels can divert a limited amount of storm water from roofs, reducing strains on urban creeks, and storm systems.
-
Rain barrels can also help prevent erosion around your home by slowing down the flow of rainwater runoff.
​
So, attend one of our $60 Rain Barrel workshops, Don't worry, we have experts to help you!
