WALNUT CREEK â Saturday is usually a day of rest, or maybe a chance to catch up on chores around the house. But in Walnut Creek, the focus was a little wider as hundreds of volunteers fanned out across the city, working on dozens of projects as part of the annual Walnut Creek Community Service Day.There's a saying that the most important thing you can give someone besides your love, is your labor.
'So people can experience various things they haven't been involved with before,' said Silva. 'Be involved in a big drive for service that if 750 people each give three hours in a single day, you've got over 2,000 man-hours of work. That was the idea.'One of those unusual experiences was in a surprisingly nondescript building. It houses all the costumes used by Lesher Center theatrical groups. Inside are thousands of shoes and shirts and apparel of all shapes and sizes.
