Serve Los Al event set for this weekend

Serve Los Al slated for this weekend

The City of Los Alamitos is partnering with nonprofits in the community on the annual citywide volunteer service event, “Serve Los Al,” scheduled for September 11 and 12. Serve Los Al was created to help beautify our city and provide the community an opportunity to unite volunteers to serve the City they live in as well as assist the local nonprofits in accomplishing their goals and noble work they do each day. Special thanks to Event Sponsors Southland Credit Union, MemorialCare Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach, and Cottonwood Church for their generous support to make this event possible.
