Meet with Santa

The Wayne Ford Civic League’s Meet Santa events are popular holiday activities that bring joy and excitement to families in the community. These events typically take place in December, offering local children the opportunity to meet and interact with Santa Claus in a festive, welcoming environment.

Our Meet with Santa event has become a cherished tradition for many families in the Wayne Ford area, creating lasting memories and strengthening community bonds during the holiday season.

Easter Egg Hunt

The Wayne Ford Civic League organizes annual Easter egg hunts as part of its community engagement activities. These events are typically held in the spring, around the Easter holiday, and are designed to bring families and children together for a fun, festive celebration.

In addition to the egg hunt itself, the event often features other activities such as face painting, games, and sometimes a visit from the Easter Bunny. These additional attractions help create a carnival-like atmosphere that encourages families to stay and socialize after the hunt is over.

Community Cleanup

The Wayne Ford Civic League regularly organizes community cleanup events to help maintain the cleanliness and beautification of the neighborhood. These cleanup days bring together local residents to pick up litter, prune overgrown vegetation, and spruce up public spaces throughout the Wayne Ford area.

Westland Volunteer Corp

The Westland Volunteer Corps is an initiative launched by the Wayne Ford Civic League to encourage greater community engagement and volunteerism. The Volunteer Corps provides opportunities for local residents to donate their time and talents towards various service projects and initiatives throughout the Westland neighborhood.
Through the Volunteer Corps, community members can sign up to assist with tasks such as painting murals, landscaping public spaces, organizing donation drives, tutoring youth, and much more. The Civic League works to match volunteers with roles and responsibilities that align with their interests and abilities.
Volunteers who join the Westland Volunteer Corps not only make a tangible difference in their community, but they also have the chance to meet new neighbors, develop new skills, and feel more connected to the place they call home.

The Civic League recognizes that volunteerism fosters a stronger, more resilient community, which is why they invest significant time and resources into recruiting and managing the Volunteer Corps.
