Junior League of Asheville announces Volunteer-A-Thon - Apr. 16th

The Junior League of Asheville is pleased to announce their 2nd Annual Volunteer-A-Thon will be held on April 16^th at four locations throughout the Asheville area. The Volunteer-A-Thon will bring active and sustaining League members as well as community volunteers together through hours of service with area nonprofits. The funds raised from this event will directly support the programs of the Junior League of Asheville.

Junior League of Asheville President, Kristi Goodrum, had this to say about the event: "We are so grateful to have the opportunity to partner with four local organizations for our second annual Volunteer-A-Thon. This day of service gives members of the Junior League of Asheville the opportunity to experience and share our Mission with our community partners."

Volunteers will contribute their time and effort at four diverse locations:

• Claxton Elementary, where members will landscape and provide a general cleanup of the school and grounds.
• Helpmate, where members will perform yard work, paint, and clean up at the domestic violence shelter.
• Manna FoodBank, where members will sort and assemble food packs.
• Black Mountain Home for Children, where members will assist this residential community for youth and children.
