Love Modesto: Massive Volunteering Event

Tomorrow in Modesto, California, the Love Modesto event kicks off a massive day of volunteering

with thousands expected to join in.

This annual tradition since 2009 brings folks together for hands-on community projects,

from clean-ups to building fixes, all aimed at, making the city better.

The whole thing started with founder Jeff Pishney's push to get people helping out in real

ways, and it's exploded from there.

His team has now guided over a hundred other cities to launch their own versions, turning

one local effort into a nationwide spark.

People love how it shifts mindsets, turning a single day of sweat into a habit of giving

back year-round.

Organizes hear stories all the time of first-timers who catch the bug and keep volunteering

long after the pancakes are gone.

This year's action starts at 7 a.m. with a big kickoff right in front of the Gallows

Center at 10th and I streets.

Expect a free pancake breakfast, kids' zones, and quick pairings to projects that match

any skill level, no experience needed.

Whether you're solo or with family, just roll up and dive in, spots are open for everyone

ready to make a difference that sticks.
