'Holly's Helping Hands' brings more than 100 volunteers together for spring clean up

Last Updated 4/22/2024

Holly would have been proud.  More than 100 volunteers flooded Monticello parks today to lend a helping hand freshening up flower beds, clearing debris, and brightening up downtown.  Most might think volunteering is just for adults, but it was seeing the number of youth involved in today's clean-up that Holly would have been most proud of.   

"I've said it before and I'll say it again, but our community is simply one of the best.  I'm so appreciative for their support and the outcome of today.  Holly had a huge impact on this town and it showed today.  I can't wait to do this again next year." Kendi M. 

"We are grateful for all of the people in our community who came out to support Holly's Helping Hands today.  It was awesome to see so many people working together to beautify the city parks." Emily S. 

"Holy would have loved today.  I could hear her laughing on the wind through the trees." Rachel B.
