Serve Jeff City is a community-wide volunteer day of beautification that is scheduled for April 22.

The event will begin at 8 a.m. at McClung Park, 931 McClung Park Drive, in Jefferson City.

More than 350 volunteers of all ages from the community are expected to provide labor and skilled trades to more than 30 community and non-profit projects in the Capital City.

Projects include helping nonprofits like Boys & Girls Club of Jefferson City, Little Explorers Discovery Center, River City Habitat for Humanity, Special Learning Center, Jefferson City Salvation Army and The Healing House & New Beginnings with tasks such as landscaping, cleaning, painting and more. Jefferson City parks -- including Deborah Cooper Park and Washington Park -- will receive beautification and landscape attention. Planting and cleanup projects are planned for Frog Hollow Trail and Lincoln University.

The event will kick off with volunteer check-in and a pancake breakfast hosted by Lt. Gov. Mike Kehoe and state Sen. Mike Bernskoetter, of Jefferson City, followed by deployment to the service areas.

Free Serve Jeff City T-shirts are guaranteed for the first 325 volunteers registered by Wednesday.
