EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Community members are being asked to volunteer to clean up a County park in Canutillo this weekend.

To celebrate Global Volunteer Month and Earth Day, volunteers are being asked to meet from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. Saturday, April 20 at Gallegos Park, 7351 Bosque Road.

Following the cleanup, there will be a Carnival of Thanks from 10 a.m. to noon that will celebrate the County’s Volunteer Program.

The El Paso County Volunteer Program has included volunteers ranging in age from 5 to 67 and has represented 36 local zip codes from Las Cruces to Juarez since the program launched last year, according to a news release sent out by the County.

Volunteers and unpaid interns contributed more than 26,000 hours in 2023 to better the community, the County said.
