Rainbow House Community Service Event

For our service event on Martin Luther King Day (Monday, January 18th / 12-2pm) we will be serving at the Rainbow House, a local children's shelter in Jonesboro, GA.  We will mainly be assisting them in arranging the sheds, going through clothing and sorting canned food items.  I have been in communication with the Volunteer Coordinator of Rainbow House, Julie Hand and they are excited and very appreciative to have us!  We will be volunteering and recruiting volunteers for a two hour shift between 12:00pm-2:00pm on MLK Day. Additional details are below.

WHAT:  Rainbow House, Inc. / Jonesboro shelter for displaced children.

ADDRESS: 879 Battlecreek Rd. Jonesboro Ga. 30236

Day of Service with the Resources for Residence and Communities

For Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 18 th, RRC is sponsoring a service project in Reynoldstown in partnership with Metro Atlanta Youth Build and AmeriCorps.

Volunteers will help with various projects in the neighborhood such as painting a fence at Reynoldstown Commons, removing graffiti in the neighborhood, installing a fence, and laying out a garden at Moreland Avenue and Hardee Street.

There was an excellent turnout for the kick-off events in the metro-Atlanta area.

As you can see, there was a lot of enthusiasm for getting out there and getting to work!

Besides the 4 events held in April:   

ACFB Community Garden and Park Pride, April 4th
Hosea Feed The Homeless Set up for Easter Dinner, Saturday April 11th
April 18th, Earth Day project.
Any Soldier Inc., Preparation of Care Packages for Deployed Georgia Soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, April 25th 

The House Painting project on May 2nd was the best one yet.  Volunteers turned out to paint the recently repaired home of a disabled senior with the guidance of ToolBank Atlanta. This is one we will definitely be returning to!

Volunteerism is a time-honored American tradition.  Whenever and wherever people need help other Americans are always there to offer a hand.  Add to that legacy by joining us in the Georgia Democrats Work campaign.
