Serve Santa Maria event returns this weekend
SANTA MARIA, Calif - The 26th Serve Santa Maria volunteer event is this weekend, on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
"It all ranges from Carl Nielsen, who had a vision of cleaning up the city after he did the same for New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina," said Edgar Gascon with Serve Santa Maria.
Most projects go from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m., including repainting school playgrounds, yard work, and graffiti removal.
"Whether it's planting trees, painting over graffiti, you know, making schools a little bit brighter, and kids enjoying that. That all plays into the enjoyment of all our lives. It's good," said Gascon.
