You will bring your supplies from 8 a.m. to noon on August 28th to the parking lot of High Praises Church, located adjacent to the United Way of Blount County building. All volunteer projects allow for social distancing, such as landscaping at a local nonprofit or becoming a penpal with an isolated senior.
