Mission Matawan 2011 - 25 June to 2 July

Mission Matawan will soon be marking its ninth year of regional community service. The group has picked over 20 projects from among applications submitted. Volunteers have signed up for one or more days, as available, to tackle the annual week-long effort, which begins next Saturday. Additional volunteers are of course welcome. Walk-ins will join work teams doing small home repairs, painting, and sometimes rigorous yard cleanup. Dress appropriately for sticker bushes, poison ivy, etc. Bring work gloves if you have them.

Volunteers are already in place for kitchen duty. They will be making breakfasts and lunches for volunteers heading out on jobs. Volunteers will meet in the Fellowship Hall at the First Presbyterian Church at Route 34 and Franklin from Saturday 25 June to 2 July at 8 am. A typical day ends around 3 pm.
