What kind of service projects is Work On Wilmington looking for?
Work On Wilmington seeks projects that will meet specific needs and provide
tangible benefits. Projects must be able to be completed in four hours and
show visible impact. They also must be unlikely to happen without the help
of Work On Wilmington volunteers.
Projects may include, but are not limited to: interior/exterior painting, landscaping, community cleanups, small construction projects and other work that could be done in four hours with an army of volunteers. Projects accomplished in prior years included interior/exterior painting, landscaping, maintenance and refurbishing work at New Hanover County schools, painting a fence around a public housing complex, working on a mural on a downtown parking deck, cleaning up and landscaping area parks and interior/exterior painting, replacing cieling towels, installing rubberized floor in the Hanelson Building.
Projects that require potentially dangerous work, such as roofing, use of scaffolding or extension ladders, heavy use of sophisticated power tools and excavation, are not suitable. Some of our volunteers will have specialized skills, but most will not.
Will it cost a community agency anything to participate?
No. Work On Wilmington will seek donations of materials needed
to complete the projects. Any donations of materials, equipment or volunteers will be greatly appreciated but not required.
