Every dollar raised from now until May 31 will be matched by a generous corporate donor! These funds will go directly towards the critical funding of meals for those individuals who have been added to our program since the COVID-19 pandemic began. We are adding recipients every day, and not turning away! Please act now by helping us help those who cannot help themselves. https://loom.ly/N3sMKP0

The WAG Friends Facebook and website have received a number of inquiries regarding the status of the paving project.
UPDATE:
We have been told that asphalt sections will be leveled with dirt and grass to be added to the sides of the asphalt.
In addition, the bollards (those wooden posts) will be replaced with posts that are further apart and, in some cases, removable for events such as the many 5ks that now occur on the greenway.
Stay tuned as we get more info on the water fountains and trashcans for recycling.
