Day 4 (of 10) has come to a close. We had a TERRIFIC #volunteer workday at #EastEndCemetery. We focused in the older section of the #cemetery in an area we haven't cleared in a while. Volunteers excavated TWO sunken #gravestones (over time some of the gravestones at East End will sink several inches into the earth)! A big thank you to our volunteers Nathan, Heather, Ash, Cap, Ray, and volunteers from the Ghanaian Association of Richmond Metropolis.
We were worried that our State Farm Neighborhood Assist® grant voting would suffer a bit today - we assumed people may be working or enjoying the weekend weather and spending time with family and friends away from the computer. BOY, WE WERE WRONG! You all really wore out that voting button!! We started at 47th place this morning and, at the time of this post, we are at 40th place!! Things will definitely fluctuate between now and Friday, BUT it feels good to be back on top and we have YOU to thank for it!! ❤️❤️❤️ Photo credit: @bxpnyc #rva #sfneighborhoodassist
Sweaty times at #EastEndCemetery today! Many thanks to all of you who worked alongside us this morning, including Nathan, Heather, Ash, Cap, Ray, and volunteers from the Ghanaian Association of Richmond Metropolis. The old section of the #cemetery looks better than it ever has. #thisplacematters #rva #sfneighborhoodassist #blackhistoryeveryday #virginiahistory #ushistory #richmondva #richmondhistory #volunteer #community (All photos by @bxpnyc)
