Unfortunately, due to the inclement weather forecast, Good Neighbor Day (which was scheduled for tomorrow) has been canceled.
Event’s partners and planning committee made a collective decision to cancel the large-scale service event because of challenges the weather would create for the majority of projects.
Donations will be received by the UMD Campus Pantry and College Park Community Food Bank as planned. The safety of volunteers and everyone involved takes precedence, according to the organizers.
The event organizers appreciate the support that has surrounded this event. We anticipated over 800 volunteers to participate in Good Neighbor Day this year for 20 service projects, said in a statement.
UMD’s Office of Community Engagement will be following up to provide further details on other ways to stay connected in the community and potential opportunities for Good Neighbor Day projects to take place at a later date.
