The City of Plano is looking for volunteers to help with recovery efforts after the May 28, 2024 storm. Many of our residents are struggling with fallen trees and branches.
Volunteers will help with tree trimming, removing hanging branches, and stacking storm debris for collection. Volunteers must be 18 years and older. Tools and equipment will be available for volunteer use.
On the service day, volunteers will meet at the Neighborhood Services building [777 E 15th Street, Plano, TX 75074] to receive location assignments and specific instructions.
