It’s 66 days away but organizers of “Love Ceres,” the faith-based organization of work projects, are already getting out the word as they seek volunteers to sign up for Saturday, April 25 work projects.

Brandy Meyer and husband Keith are once again spearheading the event which is designed to help others and tidy up the appearance of Ceres and improve the lives of others.

The event will start with volunteers gathering at Whitmore Park at 8 a.m. for a free breakfast burrito courtesy of the Ceres Lions Club, short rally and receive instructions on where to report for acts of love to the community. The Ceres Rotary Club has offered to provide lunch for volunteers who return to the park.

Project work will begin at 9 a.m. at designated locations. Currently there are eight projects but the committee hopes to add two to four more projects to the list. Confirmed projects include:

•  Greeters at the Love Ceres gathering point with four volunteers needed;

• Writing cards of care for military veterans (19 volunteers needed)

• Writing cards of encouragement for incarcerated youth in Stanislaus County (14 more volunteers sought);

• Cleaning up “hot spots” in Ceres (30 volunteers needed);

• Cleaning up downtown Ceres (19 more volunteers needed);

• Working on a Hungry Caterpillar Garden. Fifteen more volunteers are needed to paint 16 tires, then line them with gardener’s cloth, fill them with soil and plant vegetables for children in various programs to learn about the science of plants and how they grow;

• Performing yard work for seniors and shut-ins (19 more volunteers needed);

• Replacing worn American flags with new ones for various residents and properly retiring old flags (no additional volunteers needed);

• Ceres High School table painting

Volunteers may sign up for work projects at the Love Ceres website (www.loveceres.com). Anyone with questions may email Brandy Meyer at meyercprandfa@aol.com. Those who pre-register can get a free Love Ceres T-shirt, otherwise they are $5.

She also is inviting non-profit or other groups to set up tables or booths to hand out information.
