Saturday of Service: Outdoor Beautification @ Transplant House

Site Description: Transplant House of Cleveland provides affordable, temporary housing and a welcoming, supportive community to organ transplant patients and their families. Only 4% of US medical centers have organ transplant programs, and most people requiring a transplant as treatment for end-stage organ disease have to travel far away from home to receive that care. This travel is complicated and burdensome, emotionally, logistically, and financially. Transplant House eases this burden.

Service Description: Help us create a welcoming and uplifting environment by participating in outdoor beautification projects around our building. Volunteers in this role assist with tasks such as picking up litter, tending to landscaping, sweeping walkways, and enhancing shared outdoor spaces (cleaning windows and or porches). This hands-on opportunity is perfect for those who enjoy being outside, working with their hands, and making a visible impact. Your efforts help ensure our space feels clean, cared for, and inviting for every guest who arrives.

When + Where: Registered volunteers will meet at the CCEL office at 10:30 am and will return to campus by 2:15 pm. Volunteers will travel together to the site with a CCEL student leader via walking (approx. 0.4 mi, 9 min).
