Spring Into Service 2026: We Did It

A big thank-you to everyone who supported the community during COD Cares’ Spring Into Service 2026. In one week, participants painted more than 2,500 butterflies, packed 18,400 pounds of cereal for local food pantries, improved St. James Farm, prepared the Fuel Garden for planting and assembled 100 garden kits for residents in interim housing.

Thank you for continuing to support the community.
