SUMMARY:CSUN Orange Grove Clean-Up
DESCRIPTION:As part of Matador’s Day of Service\nSaturday\, February 7 | 8:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. \nJoin the CSUN Institute for Sustainability and Food Forward for a morning of service\, community\, and hands-on impact at one of CSUN’s most cherished landmarks—the Orange Grove (located between Zelzah & Lindley\, east of The Soraya). \nThis year\, the Orange Grove Cleanup is proud to be one of the featured service projects during Matador’s Day of Service\, a campus-wide day dedicated to giving back. Planted in the 1940s\, the five-acre grove along Nordhoff Street is home to more than 400 Valencia orange trees and stands as one of the last remaining orange groves from the San Fernando Valley’s agricultural past. \nVolunteers will help care for and maintain the grove by pruning and supporting the health of the trees\, ensuring strong future harvests. The fruit grown here serves a bigger purpose—helping stock the CSUN Food Pantry and supporting food pantries across Los Angeles County with fresh\, nutritious oranges. \nSign Up Here! (CSUN login required to register.) \nMatador’s Day of Service Schedule: \n\n8:00–8:30 a.m. | Check-in & light breakfast at Matador Square\n8:30–9:45 a.m. | Welcome and project assignments at Matador Square\n9:45–10:00 a.m. | Transition to project locations\n10:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m. | Service projects (Orange Grove Clean-Up; Children’s Center & Basic Needs)\n12:00–12:15 p.m. | Transition back to Matador Square\n12:15–1:00 p.m. | Closing remarks and grab-and-go lunch\n\nThis is a great opportunity to earn volunteer hours\, enjoy the outdoors\, and make a tangible difference—right here on campus and beyond. \nFor questions about this event\, please contact Jennifer Herrera via email at jennifer.herrera-alvarado@csun.edu. \nSign Up Here!
