HERNDON, Va. – PLANET will hold a community service project, called PLANET Gives Back, Wednesday, Oct. 26, during this year’s Green Industry Conference (GIC) in Louisville, Ky.
PLANET has teamed up with Metro United Way, a local United Way affiliate, and will work with a group of 50 volunteers to enhance four facilities in downtown Louisville. Project sites include the Bridgehaven Mental Health Services, Heuser Hearing Institute, Engelhard Elementary School, and The Center for Women and Families. PLANET Gives Back will complement PLANET’s two other service projects held each year – the nationwide PLANET Day of Service, held in April, and Renewal & Remembrance, held each July at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, D.C.
“This Louisville project further amplifies PLANET’s history of giving back across the country,” says Glenn Jacobsen, a PLANET board member. “PLANET Gives Back is another opportunity for our members to beautify another community and to also improve the environment. We are so proud to be able to use our resources and skills to help the city of Louisville.”
PLANET members will plant shrubs and flowers, prune, mulch, clean up areas, install water features and plant turfgrass where necessary.
