FEEL THE LOVE

While the traditional ‘Love Oakdale’ day of service isn’t happening right now, coordinators are looking at a new date of Oct. 3 for the event but also have a goal of helping families prior to the fall work day if possible. The familiar Love Oakdale signs were replaced with ‘Love Our Neighbors’ in the center of town, at the intersection of Yosemite and F streets. Coordinators said Love Our Neighbors is a project of Love Our Cities, the parent organization that Love Oakdale is under. “We are encouraging people to register with Love Our Neighbors with any needs or ability to help,” said Love Oakdale co-coordinator Lisa Kjeldgaard. “We’ve already had a family in Oakdale pay to fill a propane tank for a family that had no heat. Most help is coming in the area of groceries and encouraging people to donate to the local food banks.”
