Community volunteers to help build picnic tables at Austin °¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ

The Austin °¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ community will be coming together Saturday to help build picnic tables to support outdoor lunches and learning.

Students are at lower risk of COVID-19 transmission when they eat or learn outside, so Austin °¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ organized the event for community members to help build tables for campuses to use as outdoor lunch or learning spaces.

Austin °¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ is expecting about 30 volunteers who will work in an assembly line to create the tables. Tables will be prioritized for campuses in areas with the highest COVID-19 rates in the city.

Masks will be required at this event.

What: Austin °¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ staff and volunteers will build picnic tables to support outdoor learning and lunch.

When: 8 a.m. - 2 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 2

Where: Austin °¼Í¹ÊÓÆµ Service Center, 5101 E. 51st Street
