The city of Sterling Heights is gearing up for our Spring SHINE Day on Saturday, May 7, hosted by First Church of Sterling Heights.
SHINE is a great opportunity for students, family members, organizations and co-workers to get involved with our community and help out their fellow neighbors!
The citywide cleanup is part of the Sterling Heights Initiative for Neighborhood Excellence (SHINE) program through the Community Relations Department. The SHINE initiative works with schools, churches and residents to provide volunteers for residents who need help with property maintenance because of age, physical disabilities, or financial hardship.
Volunteers will meet at 9:30 a.m. at First Church of Sterling Heights, located at 39400 Dequindre Rd.
Work assignments will not be longer than 3-4 hours. All materials will be provided to volunteers.
If you are not able to volunteer on May 7 but would like to help with the SHINE program, please email and we can set up a time and day that works best for you!
