Upcoming Volunteer Events

Help with Kids-In-The-Creek Site Repairs

Hurricane Helene damaged our Kids-In-The-Creek (KITC) educational sites. Volunteers are needed to assist with repairs to the KITC site along the Joseph McDowell Greenway in Marion. We need eight or so people willing to use shovels, rakes, spread grass seed, and plant bushes.

Join us on Monday 13 July with a morning (8:30 - 11:30) session. If you can help with this important project, please:

Register Here. We will be back in touch with more information.

Working together, we will have this site ready for the coming school year.
