Melaleuca continued its annual fall service event, this year focusing on beloved gathering places in the communities where its employees work and live. More than 220 employees combined their efforts in Rexburg’s Eagle Park and the Idaho Falls River Walk to clean up an area near the Snake River and restore approximately two and half miles of walkways and riverbank. Nine teams formed to fill three dumpsters and dozens of trailers with overgrown vegetation, fallen branches and debris.
In Rexburg, 30 team members collected 12 bags of garbage and 150 pounds of scrap metal for disposal, and even helped corral a herd of goats that had gone astray.
“On behalf of the City of Idaho Falls, I want to extend my sincere gratitude for leading another incredible volunteer project,” said PJ Holms, Director of Idaho Falls Parks & Recreation. “This marks the third year of the initiative, and each year it continues to have a meaningful impact on our community. It is truly inspiring to see Melaleuca live out its mission of enhancing the lives of those you touch by helping people reach their goals. By encouraging your employees to actively participate in public service, you are not only improving our community but also setting an example of corporate leadership and citizenship that others can look up to.”
