PALISADES CARES-encouraging volunteer action in the community

Our Mission

We encourage volunteering by Palisadians and others by:
networking with other organizations both in and out of the Palisades
organizing programs and workshops
spearheading volunteer projects such as a fall school supplies drive; a holiday toy drive; MLK Day service projects; Palisades Reads; beach clean-ups; spring planting workshops.

We sponsor Palisades Reads, a community wide program centered around one book which we organize several times a year.

We encourage sustainable practices by distributing reusable bags, sponsoring beach cleanups, organizing events and workshops dealing with buying local and growing pesticide free, selling reusable Klean Kanteens and more.
