The AYLA Community Service Days committee invites you to join us on Saturday, September 25th volunteering with The Green Corn Project (GCP) for one of their dig-ins. A Dig-in is a volunteer group outing to garden sites where volunteers either install a new garden or clean up an existing one. No experience is needed to be a volunteer. Children are welcome, but GCP asks that  young children are accompanied at all times.

The volunteer shift is from 8:45 a.m. until noon. Be sure to register before Friday, September 24th through the link below, but we encourage you to register as soon as possible as there are limited spots. We will all meet at the GCP facility at 1901 Matthews Lane at 8:45 a.m.

With great power comes great responsibility. That is why we are fundraising to help children who’ve been through abuse or neglect have the powerful voice of a CASA volunteer, a true superhero to guide them through the toughest moments in their young lives. Today we are asking you to join forces with us by donating to help every child who needs one have their own superhero volunteer. Thank you for using your power for good!
