Santa Clara Community Foundation Needs Tabling Volunteers for Wildflower Celebration, May 2nd.

SCCF will have a table with native plant sales, activities for kids, and giveaways during the 15th Annual Awbrey Park Wildflower Celebration, May 2nd, 2026, 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Our board staff need breaks and we are encouraging neighbors to come and sit for a while at our table to learn about and showcase for the public the great projects the Foundation is doing and what’s planned for the coming year.

We’d love to have you join us, enjoy the celebration, and the spring wildflowers of Awbrey Park. Please email volunteering@santaclaracommunityfoundation.org or call 541-689-8897 if you’d like to help.

Awbrey Park is located near the intersection of River Road and Spring Creek Drive. Scouts will be assisting with parking directions.
