Volunteers sought for Day of Caring in Port Townsend

PORT TOWNSEND — More than 60 volunteers have signed up so far for the United Good Neighbors Day of Caring on Friday.

Coordinator Laura Souza said more volunteers are needed.

“If anyone wants to volunteer, they can call the office” through Thursday, she said Tuesday.

Volunteers will meet between 8:30 a.m. and 9 a.m. Friday for a continental breakfast at the Mountain View campus at the corner of Blaine and Walker streets.

During the breakfast, United Good Neighbors will award its second annual Good Neighbor Award, said Carla Caldwell, executive director of UGN and the Jefferson County Community Foundation.

After a proclamation is read by the mayor, volunteers will pick up their T-shirts and head out to the work sites until about noon.

All the projects scheduled are in Port Townsend. The sites are:

■ Dove House — Sheridan and 10th streets.

■ Haller Fountain city park — Center of town on Washington Street.

■ Habitat for Humanity of East Jefferson County building site — 1910 Eddy St. off Hastings.

■ YMCA office — Mountain View School campus by the public pool.

■ Haines Street cottages — Haines and 19th streets.

■ Jumping Mouse Children’s Center — 1809 Sheridan St.

The Day of Caring in Clallam County, led by United Way, was last Saturday.
