OCTOBER COMMUNITY SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES

BI-NATIONAL HEALTH FAIR
The Interactive Community Alliance needs volunteers for its ninth annual Bi-National Health Fair on Saturday, Oct. 10 from 9 am to 1 pm at the South Olive Community Center, 345 Summa St., West Palm Beach. The organization is especially in need of volunteers who speak Spanish to help translate, but Spanish is not required. The fair provides free medical services and information, immigration consultation, legal and financial planning, and general life skills counseling. Students interested in assisting at the fair should click here for more information.


ATTACK THE AIR POTATO
The Delray Beach Parks and Recreation Department needs volunteers to assist in air potato removal from parks on Saturday, Oct. 3, from 9 am to 12 noon, at Orchard View and Barwick Parks.

The air potato is an exotic invasive vine that smothers Florida native plants. Last year Delray Beach Parks and Recreation released air potato leaf beetles to control the air potato, but with the air potato growing 8 inches per day, the beetles need a little help. Volunteers are invited to bring their gloves and join in the attack. Community service hours will be awarded. 

​Orchard View Park is at 4060 Old Germantown Rd., off Linton Boulevard. Barwick Park is at 735 Barwick Rd., at the corner of Lake Ida and Barwick Roads. For more information, please contact Danielle Beardsley at (561) 243-7277 or by email at [email protected]
