City Calls on "Able Volunteers" for Sand Bagging

The City of Parkville is requesting assistance from able volunteers capable of assisting with sand bagging efforts in downtown Parkville. Sand bagging efforts will begin at 2:00 pm, Tuesday, June 7th and will continue until efforts are completed. This effort is expected to continue at least through the evening. Volunteers must check in at the Parkville Farmer’s Market, located east of East Street, south of the railroad tracks in downtown Parkville.
Parking and access will be limited. Until full, volunteers may park in the Farmer’s Market Parking lot and surrounding area. The City requests volunteers carpool if possible.
Volunteers must be 16 years old or older and must bring a photo ID. Volunteers are advised to bring gloves, work boots, hat, sunscreen and bug spray for their personal use. The City is preparing to have water on hand, but volunteers are advised to bring food and drinks for their personal use just in case.
The Platte County Health Department will be providing free tetanus shots for volunteers who need one.
