Leading up to the event we will be doing a donation drive to support Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue (Mostly Mutts’ list of donation needs are attached). The community is welcome to donate items to support Mostly Mutts starting now and leading up to the MLK Day of Service event. Donations can be left at the Acworth Community Center. Volunteers can also sign up to volunteer at Mostly Mutts on Monday, January 20, after the MLK Program concludes.
The second volunteer opportunity available to sign up for will be at Acworth Presbyterian Church to help paint their Fellowship Room and Choir Room. These rooms not only serve the church congregation but also are rooms used once a month in partnership with Life Changing Ministries to provide a monthly birthday program to Acworth youth. We will be painting these rooms to help update the spaces and provide a much-needed update to this historic church.
With volunteer opportunities happening at the same time, volunteers should choose one volunteer opportunity for the day.
