What People Are Saying
“I started volunteering with FRVC in 2021 after seeing how damaged and dirty the East fork of the San Gabriel River was. I was overwhelmed by it all until I met the other volunteers. We were all so different, but still willing to show up and try to have a positive impact. It felt good. So I kept coming back. ”
