Nearly a dozen Anna’s Kindness volunteers — along with Anna’s brother Alex — brought a little beauty to the grounds of Alpha House Sunday, capping off a wonderful Anna’s Day of Kindness which featured nine volunteer projects over two weekends in two states.
The middle school volunteers and their parents spent the first hour of the project trimming down perennials for new regrowth, and raking out and hauling away leaves, twigs, and pinecones that were littering the gardens.Volunteers then added color to their work, planting vibrant pink flowers along the walkway, and in front of the Alpha House signs, a bright beautiful welcome to its residents.
The Alpha House provides shelter, meals and hygiene items for families experiencing homelessness, and helps them find and transition into a more stable living situation.
Thank you to our volunteers (and their hard-working parents) Forsythe Middle School’s Henry Remington, Toby Colias, Annabelle and Lincoln Balazar, William Howard, Tessa Farrell, and Ben Zampi; Clague Middle School’s Tessa Purman, Ada Buis, and Chaaniyaa Cheema; Tappan Middle School’s Joey Fortin; and Slauson Middle School’s Anna Chomistek.
A special thank you to Lowe’s Home Improvement for the generous donation of flowers and garden soil, and to Zach, Beth, and the Alpha House for providing snacks and drinks to fuel our hard workers.
