Pledge Additional Volunteer Hours

Kimball School’s Student Council Leaders would like volunteers to help fix and clean their neighborhood this summer.

The Neighborhood Organized Workforce (NOW) is a grassroots effort of students, parents, seniors, and anyone willing to help out in Old Town National City (OTNC). The NOW volunteer pledge drive begins June 4th and ends July 2nd. The goal is to sign up over 5,000 volunteer hours to clean the neighborhood, fix a local recreation center, and help the Kimball Staff prepare for the first day of school.

On Friday June 4th at 2:30pm the school is inviting media and the community to the kick-off event to promote the volunteer drive and make a pledge of community service. Kimball Elementary is located at 302 West 18th St., National City 91950. Kimball Principal Sonia Ruan states, “I’m excited that our students have an opportunity to develop community responsibility by getting involved in improving their neighborhood.”

The NOW pledge card is available at Kimball Elementary and on the homepage of the National City Website www.nationalcityca.gov. It gives detailed information about the program. Volunteer efforts will be supervised and coordinated by existing organizations such as the City of National City, Kimball School, St. Anthony’s Ministry, Paradise Creek Education Park, and Christmas in July. Volunteers will be entered into a chance to win various prizes thanks to sponsors – Mile of Cars Association, John’s Incredible Pizza, San Diego Pretzel Company, and CP Manufacturing.
