FREE LUNCH! If you can use a wrench, or paint brush, or shovel

Kris Mosby's sister suggests that we do something for someone other than ourselves for once. She sent this information on how to do that and still get a free lunch. Plus it doesn't say anything about not drinking beer while volunteering. This saturday at CAMP, home of some of your fellow FBCers.

STL Southside Volunteers Needed:
Come be a volunteer during St. Louis Serves Day!!! Free lunch provided for all volunteers... We need volunteers to come and serve at several locations, but particularly at CAMP (Community Arts and Media Project).

Volunteers will split into four teams:
Team 1: Bike Shop- The first team will spend the morning organizing and cleaning the bike shop and stripping bike frames for parts. The kid’s program will be in the afternoon, where volunteers will help assist neighborhood kids with bike repairs. Some familiarity with bike tools is helpful, but not necessary; we can show you what to do.
Team 2: Murals- Several murals in the public spaces are underway and will need more painting. No special skills required (Full or half day).
Team 3: Community Garden- A variety of tasks will be needed in the garden, from transplanting starts, to weeding, building a larger compost bin, to turning new beds.
Team 4: Computer lab/library- The public computer lab and library requires setting it up before it is opened, this will include putting up shelves, sorting books, moving computers (no special knowledge required), etc. (Full or half day)
If interested in volunteering please contact Courtney at: outreach@americorps-stl.org and I can send you more detailed information. Thanks!!
