A group of 39 volunteers took part in the event. They assisted in deep cleaning the desks and storage areas, organizing materials for the school programs, and painting the walls with a fresh vibrant orange color. Also, they constructed new bookshelves, desks, and storage units to improve functionality and give the space a new fresh look.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/div>\n

\nThe volunteers worked together to create a comfortable reading corner complete with new seating and a soft floor mat, providing a warm welcome and haven for young readers. To ensure that the reading corner was not only inviting but filled with a diverse selection of reading materials, the volunteers collected book donations from ECD for children and adults of all ages. <\/p>\n

Around 700 books were donated through the book drive, which was not only given to Forest Ridge but also other communities as part of the ECD Reads initiative.<\/p>\n

A special shout-out goes to Gabe Taylor for organizing an amazing service day, and to the volunteers and Forest Ridge team who were also\"\" instrumental in the planning and execution process: Michele Mitchell, Cynise Williams-Riley, Alex Jeanty & Kevin Orsie. The day was filled with heartfelt community spirit, teamwork, and purpose, and the ECD Finance team had a great time giving back to the residents in an intentional and impactful way.<\/p>\n
