WAITSBURG—Matt and Krystal Wyatt Helping Hands of Waitsburg just announced a plan to clean up Preston Park this Saturday, August 1st, at 9 a.m. Lend a helping hand to clean up all sandbags that were left to help with the flood and remove the reminders of the devastation that affected over 60 homes in our community.

We can also help out our City of Waitsburg workers who are doing a fantastic job with a high workload. With enough trucks and workers, the task will go very quickly.

Needed:

• Trucks to load sandbags

• Masked workers with gloves

• Shovels to spread the gravel from the bags that have already split.

• Garbage sacks for ripped sandbags

The effort will be starting earlier in the day to beat the heat. There are a lot of trees that will be allowing shade for the short amount of time this will take.

Matthew Wyatt will be buying donuts and coffee from Millstone Cafe for all that would like to assist us. “I don’t want to leave this job to the city workers who have already done so much for our community, especially this year. They have enough on their plate,” said Wyatt.

Meet at Preston Park at 9 a.m. with your mask on, and we’ll get going!
