Family Volunteer Day
Over 40 volunteers participated in Our House‘s first annual Family Volunteer Day event. The day aligned with Global Youth Service Day (yearly
in April), a day of service for youth worldwide. Families and individuals of
all ages came to our Family Volunteer Day to do projects that were suitable
for a wide range of ages. Projects included planting flowers (donated from
The Good Earth Garden Center), re-mulching the playground, and water
sealing the playground fence.

The group of high school and college students visited from Cookeville, TN.
After serving lunch, they organized clothing donations and carried them to
the storage shed. After a tour of our campus, a few of the volunteers spent
some time helping with the babies in the infant room of Little Learners.
