“OREGON HILL BEAUTIFICATION – YARD TOOLS NEEDED”

Posted on by

This plea came from neighbor Jimmy Blackford last week in regard to upcoming volunteer work:

Can you lend us some yard tools for a special Oregon Hill work project happening Wed & Thurs of next week (8/12 & 8/13)?
We’re scraping the grass from our brick sidewalks. So we need:
– SQUARE BLADED SHOVELS & SPADES
– WHEEL BARROWS
– HEAVY DUTY SCRAPERS
– GARDEN EDGERS
– GARDEN RAKES
If you can provide any, please contact me by phone,text or email. If possible, you can mark each item with your name using duct tape or some such thing.
Also, if you’d like to join this project, please contact me. Some 50 VCU students are volunteering in Oregon Hill for this task. It’s going from 8am-1pm on Wed & Thursday. You could join us at any time there – but the earlier the better.
Yours,
Jimmy Blackford
