APRIL 27, 2024
Beautiful Day 2024 was a blast!
We had more than 100 volunteers come out in the rain to do projects at Greywolf Elementary, Helen Haller Elementary, Serenity House, The Ramen Shop and Carrie Blake Park. Beautiful Day is all about partnership, with churches, civic organizations and businesses working together to serve and build up our community.
What is Beautiful Day?
The concept for Beautiful Day and its name was born in the Silicon Valley region of California in 2004 when several churches, businesses, civic organizations and schools partnered together on a weekend to serve their community. The idea has taken hold in many places and has been a great way to foster caring and involvement. In 2017 we had our first Beautiful Day event in Sequim, and from time to time have had volunteers serve in Port Angeles and Port Townsend as well! Our desire is to get out and make big difference in our region at least one weekend a year each April. We also actively encourage Beautiful Day volunteers to continue serving their communities throughout the year.
How it all started…
The first Beautiful Day in Sequim was 2017, with projects focusing on Sequim schools. The next year brought great weather and over a hundred volunteers from four churches and two community organizations. Local businesses provided supplies for our projects, which included painting the Sequim Innovation Center and the Sequim Options School, and landscaping at Serenity House Square, Sunbelt Apartments and Helen Haller School. We have still more projects on the list this year!
