This year, Belmont Serves – the town’s day of community service held on the Columbus Day holiday – will be staying close to home.

The organizers of the annual event – the Belmont Religious Council – is asking that people chose one or several service projects (see below) to do on your own, with your family, pod, neighborhood or service group. Take a picture or a quick video and share with the community the good that is happening in Belmont.

Here are some recommended service projects for you to chose from:

Print out a Belmont Serves Bingo Card and plan out a few service ideas with the kids! (A completed card could get you an ice cream! Details on the card)
Clean up trash on your street, at your park
Ask neighbors what you can do to help-yard work, change light bulbs etc..
Plant some flower bulbs for your family or neighbor
Go on a walk/run in your neighborhood and say hello to all those who cross your path
Hold a car wash and give proceeds to the Belmont Food Pantry
Support a local business
Painting Kindness Rocks/Hope Rocks and place them near your sidewalk
Clothing drive for Cradles to Crayons
Thank you notes for front-line workers
Book Exchange – donate in your neighborhood
Belmont Helps will have a Free Mask table in Belmont Center on Monday, Oct. 12 from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
