Greenhouse Move
“Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Monday, January 20, 2014, The Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday is a National Day of Service, and a time to re-commit ourselves to serving each other and our communities. On MLK Day, Americans across the country will honor Dr. King by helping their neighbors and communities. This Day of Service is a way to transform Dr. King's life and teachings into community service that helps solve problems.MLK Day programs meet tangible needs, but also build a sense of community and mutual responsibility by spurring conversation. On this day, Americans of every age and background celebrate Dr. King through volunteering and unite to strengthen communities, empower individuals, and bridge barriers.
Volunteers will be assisting with the physical lifting and placing of a small greenhouse from its current location to the Neighborhood Resource Center.
The new greenhouse will allow the NRC to start growing seeds for our learning garden earlier in the season.
Volunteers should wear clothing that can get dirty and sturdy shoes.
The Neighborhood Resource Center has plenty of parking. When volunteers arrive, they should ring the front door bell.
