Love Modesto: Massive Volunteering Event

0:00Tomorrow 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.

1:00Whether you're solo or with family, just roll up and dive in, spots are open for everyone ready to make a difference that sticks. Stay informed with California News Today, AI-powered updates. I'm Corey with The Story.
