Volunteerism has been an
important part of the Foxwood Springs community since the first
residents moved here in June, 1978. As the community has grown, more
volunteer jobs in a wide variety of areas have developed.
Residents may
do as much or as little as they want to do.
On the week end of On May
6, 7, and 8, 2016, there was a
Successful 10th Anniversary
Celebration of
Thrift Shop and Furniture Garages.
