Each year, the City of Renton and local Church of Latter-Day Saints sponsor

a day of volunteering to commemorate the anniversary of 9/11.

Nearly 1,000 volunteers work at more than 20 sites

to beautify neighborhood treasures.

The incredible group that adopted RAYS this year donated 132 hours of time.

They transformed the entrances around our family counseling center:

cutting down overgrown bushes to improve security, planting flowers, and putting

brick borders around the new flower beds.
