Neighborhood Services

Interested in giving back to the community? Plano CARES (Code Abatement by Residents Engaged in Service) might be the thing for you! If you enjoy working on minor home repairs and landscaping, then come help some of our residents in need. The City provides tools and materials, we just need volunteers to help with the work!

Workdays are the 2nd Saturday of every month between March and November. Sign up as an individual or as a group. We will find opportunities to suit your need. We work with corporate and civic groups as well. If you have a specific day that you would like your group to volunteer, please contact Kala Krishnan (kalak@plano. gov) and we will see how we can make it work. Find out more at plano.gov/PlanoCARES.
