Help with Kids-In-The-Creek Site Repairs

THANK YOU! We now have the volunteers we need for Monday's work on this project. Please follow LJEA here and on social media for future opportunities to lend a hand.

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.
