Hundreds of Lower Colorado River Authority employees rolled up their sleeves on Friday, April 11, to volunteer on dozens of community projects across parts of Texas during LCRA’s annual day of service, Steps Forward Day.

In Fayette County, LCRA employees painted the old city jail and landscaped in Flatonia; landscaped three sites in Schulenburg; and painted cattle pens at the Fayette County Fairgrounds in La Grange.

Other Steps Forward Day projects ranged from planting a pollinator garden at Stagecoach Park in Buda to painting the exterior of the police annex building in Shiner to adding mulch to the playground area at Hempstead City Park in Hempstead. “We started Steps Forward Day 10 years ago as a way to give back to Texas communities,” LCRA General Manager Phil Wilson said. “Today, that journey continues stronger than ever. This year, more than 700 employees volunteered to work on projects communities may not have the time or resources to complete on their own.”

Steps Forward Day continues LCRA’s long-standing commitment to service.
