Earth Day Action

Earth Day Action: Volunteer Days at ICG

Earth Day Action Volunteer Days at ICG are hands-on community events celebrating Earth Day and the power of collective action. These volunteer days invite participants to help improve and maintain ICG, a beloved public space that remains free and open to all, 365 days a year. 

Generously sponsored by Visions Federal Credit Union, Wegmans, and The Home Depot, these events highlight the importance of stewardship and environmental care.

This year, we’re hosting two Earth Day Action Volunteer Days: one for community members and one for corporate partners.
