Stepping forward to make a difference

Steps Forward Day is a way for LCRA to give back to its customers and partner with them on projects that help their communities. During the annual day of service, LCRA employees help complete projects like cleaning parks, improving playgrounds, painting community buildings and athletic field equipment, and improving landscaping with new plants and mulch. Steps Forward Day 2025 will be April 11.

Since we launched the program, hundreds of our employees have worked on more than 300 community projects from West Texas to the Gulf Coast as part of Steps Forward Day.
