Love Stanislaus County to host 13th AnnualLove Modesto in a COVID Safe Format


[Modesto, California, April 12, 2021]: Love Modesto, an event of Love StanislausCounty, is a day of community volunteerism in Modesto. The event brings people from all walks of life together to beautify and enhance the community. Join us for LoveModesto on Saturday, April 24 (8:00 am-12:00 pm) and sign up for a service project.

Love Modesto was born in 2009 from the idea of loving your community. In its first year, the event saw over 1,000 citizens show up to serve. In recent years, the event has had over 7,000 participants. Our community needs us now more than ever! There are a lot of really important projects to choose from and more will be added in the coming days to help our community during these challenging times.

In response to COVID, we will not be hosting our annual downtown rally prior to the event and we will feature a scaled-back version of projects. This year’s Love Modestodoes have over 50 projects to choose from. Additionally, our organization has worked closely with county and city officials to ensure all our service projects are within recommended safety protocols for COVID-19.“

Love Modesto is a day in which our community comes together to pour love into our city through a variety of selfless acts. The outpouring of volunteerism allows for many needs to be met within our local schools, congregations and non-profits. By illustrating the city’s needs on this day, we hope to motivate local residents to remain involved on a consistent basis and further develop the relationships established on this day.” said Sarah Kashefi, Love Stanislaus County Event Coordinator.
