Costa Mesa, California is set to host its annual community service event, Love Costa Mesa, on May 17, 2023. The event has grown significantly since its inception in 2018, when hundreds of volunteers participated in about two dozen service projects. This year, the event is expected to attract up to 1,500 community members who will engage in nearly 100 individual service projects across local schools, parks, and residences.
The day will begin with a rally outside Costa Mesa City Hall at 7:30 a.m., where volunteers will gather before heading out to their respective service projects. Activities planned for this year include washing windows, assembling care packages, landscaping, repairing homes for senior citizens, painting murals, and beautifying local schools. After the conclusion of the service projects, which will run until 1 p.m., participants will return for a celebratory lunch featuring free meals and live performances.
To maintain organization and ensure that all volunteers have assigned roles, most participants sign up in advance for specific projects through an online platform available at lovecostamesa.org.

The ongoing success of this effort is aimed at maintaining momentum and encouraging citizens to continually participate in community-oriented activities.
As preparations for Love Costa Mesa continue, all interested community members are encouraged to get involved. Volunteers can explore a sign-up list that includes approximately 70 different projects online at whave mentioned. The event seeks to not only enhance the local environment but also to create an atmosphere of camaraderie and collective responsibility among residents.
In summary, Love Costa Mesa is more than just an annual volunteer event; it represents a movement toward enhancing community engagement and cooperation amongst residents.
