LA Earth Day 2023: Japanese Garden Restoration (Morning Shift)

There are multiple volunteer shifts. This is for the Morning Shift from 9:00 am to 11:30 am

Please join the Los Angeles Service Platoon as we partner with other veteran service organizations, such as Welcome Home Troops, Vets Whole in One, Merging Vets and Players, Daughters of the American Revolution, Veterans Garden Project, the Bandini Foundation, and VPAN.
