REI Gainesville will host its first-ever Community Day on Saturday, November 8th, from 11 AM–5 PM. This free, community-focused event highlights local non-profits and environmental organizations working to protect and celebrate North Florida’s outdoor spaces.

Organizations will be tabling inside and outside the store, sharing resources, volunteer opportunities, and ways to get involved. REI Co-op members will also have the chance to enter exclusive gear raffles, and the Alachua Conservation Trust will return with its EcoRover for test rides and outreach.

Participating Organizations:
• Alachua Conservation Trust – REI Gainesville’s primary grant partner, with more than $50,000 donated to support local conservation initiatives over the past five years
• Gainesville Cycling Club
• Alachua Audubon Society
• Florida Trail Association
• Prairie Creek Conservancy
• GrowHub Community Garden – A local organization that cultivates native Florida plants and provides employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities. GrowHub recently partnered with REI to update the native planters at the store’s entrance.

REI Gainesville welcomes community members, outdoor enthusiasts, and families to join in, connect with local organizations, and celebrate the outdoors together.
