The City of Richardson is partnering with Altrusa International of Richardson to promote the giving of 150,000 collective minutes of volunteerism as part of the City’s sesquicentennial celebration. Richardson will be celebrating its 150th anniversary in June, and several community events and activities are underway for people to take part in and enjoy leading up to the event.
People of all ages looking to take part through the gift of giving are encouraged to volunteer 150 minutes (2.5 hours) serving the community by helping a neighbor in need, a local nonprofit or even a governmental agency. All volunteers are asked to log their service hours from now through June 15 on the www.richardson150th.com website located on the home page. The city will recognize the volunteer initiative on the birthday celebration planned for June 24.
