Join the City of Irvine and Participate in Love Irvine's Citywide Serve Day

The City of Irvine has partnered with Love Irvine for the fourth annual Love Irvine Citywide Serve Day on Saturday, November 2, from 7:30 a.m. to noon. This partnership connects people who want to help with volunteer opportunities at various nonprofit service providers, faith-based organizations, government entities, and schools.

Volunteers can participate in a variety of projects such as Harvesting Produce at Harvest Solutions Farm, sorting food at Families Forward and South County Outreach, making blankets for the 2/11 Marine Battalion, organizing clothing at Working Wardrobes, teaching Tech to Seniors, and packing 30,000 meals to feed hungry children.

There are more than 25 projects available through Love Irvine on November 2, and many ways for residents to make a meaningful impact. The entire community is encouraged to come together and serve, creating a lasting difference in the City of Irvine and beyond. A kickoff event will begin at 7:30 a.m. at Heritage Community Park, and afterward, volunteers will report to their respective volunteer locations.
