HOLLEY – More than 100 Holley students will out on Sunday picking up litter and doing other community service projects. The effort is the annual Day of Impact led by Holley Rotary Interact and EarlyAct Clubs.

They will be at the elementary school parking lot at 10 a.m. and then disperse into the community. The Day of Impact will be held in honor of Eric Fredendall, who welcomed opportunities to make a positive difference in his community.

The event expands upon the Annual Clean Sweep, an effort Fredendall actively supported, to create a day of service that reflects the lifetime of impact he had on Holley.

Participants will take part in a variety of service projects, including cleaning the canal and village streets, organizing the fire department’s storage center, working on the memorial tank at the VFW, and completing several additional community improvement tasks.

Volunteers will also prepare meals and assemble emergency supply kits for Operation Open Hearts.
