Help Weldon In Action Bloom before November 1st
Big things are happening in Weldon! On Saturday, November 1, 2025, Weldon In Action will host a day of celebration and community pride—featuring the premiere of a special documentary, a ribbon cutting at Ralph J. Bunche Park, and festivities for all ages.
But before we can cut the ribbon, we need your help this October to make the park bloom.
Completing the Ralph J. Bunche Park Gardens
One of the highlights of this celebration will be the unveiling of the new gardens. Our goal is to finish planting by October 15 so the gardens are flourishing in time for November’s big event.
How You Can Help
We need volunteers to prepare and plant the gardens:
Wednesday, October 8
Thursday, October 9
