The more “Hands Across Yates County” during Celebrate Service… Celebrate Yates, the bigger the difference made.

Each year, Celebrate Service… Celebrate Yates volunteers help local non-profit organizations and agencies by clearing trails, making neighborhoods safer, painting, cleaning, and more.

There are a total of 21 sites signed up for this year’s event, Sunday, April 27, and around 125 volunteers. In years past, between 160 and 185 worked fewer sites, so more volunteers are needed.

Registration forms are available online at www.keuka.edu/celebrateyates. For information about volunteering, call Keuka College’s Office of Campus Ministries at (315) 279-5377.
