Wake Forest’s Northeast Community Coalition, Habitat for Humanity of Wake County and Lowe’s are joining to celebrate the coming of fall and kick off the Spring Street Build in Wake Forest.
It begins at 8:15 a.m. at the Spring Street Christian Church, 309 East Spring Street and that kick-off is followed by a community clean-up. The festival itself begins at 10 a.m. with lunch and a program at 11:30.
Young people 16 and older will work on home preservation projects, organizer Tilda Caudle with Habitat, said, and those 12 to 15 will help with picking up area streets and the Alston-Massenburg Park. “All youth will be accompanied by police officers,” she said. “The goal of having youth and officers working together is to help develop lasting relationships between them. The officers are excited.”
Adult volunteers are needed for the home preservation projects, in setting up and cleaning up for the event and helping the garden coordinator put stakes in the ground to support fencing around the garden.
There is street parking near the festival.
