The Marion Police Department and Marion Senior Center are housed in the WW Scott building. Caring for Our Community is working on a multi-year project to make the outdoor spaces welcoming, beautiful, safe and comfortable. This year volunteers painted the handrail and picnic tables (installed and rehabilitated last year), planted flowers, refreshed mulch, pruned trees. Our wonderful lunch team also served lunch here for both volunteer days.

🚨Critical supply needs🚨 Our friends @ Sentinel Foundation have been responding to the crisis in western NC with boots on the ground since Hurricane Helene ravaged the area. Malcolm and I are taking a load of supplies to Banner Elk on Saturday. This list is the needs as we know them today -- we'll be confirming before we travel and only taking currently needed supplies. If you'd like to contribute, please DM, call or text me ASAP to coordinate! It's awesome if you want to share this list with friends but please only share my phone number directly with people you know and not in any public posts! Thank you!

PS -- If you aren't familiar with Sentinel Foundation, look them up on FB or Instagram to see videos from NC and https://foundationsentinel.org to check out all the work this amazing group of humans does to protect children, here in the US and around the world.

Lemonade stands are a great opportunity for our kiddos to take part in helping their own. Youth groups, sports teams, collectors of community service hours, etc.

Share it if you see it, because we'd hate to let these spaces go to waste!
