Volunteers are needed on Saturday, November 16 for Kiwanis Club/Bright Beginnings Beautification Day! We have an opportunity to spruce up a facility used by our largest service project partner. The event is planned to take place at their MLK site which is located just inside the Church of the Holy Communion Episcopal Church at 3640 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave., Southeast, Washington, DC from 10am to 3pm. It's the same location as the playground build we helped with last year.
Twenty Bright Beginnings families and staff members are looking forward to meeting Kiwanians in service. Lunch will be served and it will be a great occasion to connect with families we are trying to help in the fight against homelessness.
Our main mission on the 16th will be painting. They have three classrooms, two hallways and one stairwell that are in desperate need of a little TLC by way of a new coat of paint. In this season of Thanksgiving, this would be a great way to give back. Please feel free to bring a prospective member to see our service in action!
