CLARKSVILLE, Tenn (CLARKSVILLENOW) – Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County invites the community to join them for a volunteer service day on Monday, January 20, 2020 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Clarksville ReStore located at 404 Madison Street to lead residents through improvements to the store.
This volunteer service will honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King. Hundreds of thousands of Americans celebrate MLK Day each year by participating in service projects to improve their communities.
“We answer Dr. King’s call to serve and are making a difference in the lives of Montgomery County residents,” said Rob Selkow, Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity of Montgomery County Tennessee. “Service brings people from different experiences together – volunteering unites all ages and faith backgrounds while making a difference in our community”
The project involves improvements at the ReStore, including lighting and ceiling tile installation, painting, shelving, and organizing the warehouse. The ReStore is the primary revenue source for the Habitat for Humanity home building program. Improvements will help support five Clarksville families currently working toward home ownership in 2020.
To sign up for the project, email ed@habitatmctn.org with the subject line #MLK. Volunteers should be 16 and older, wear work clothes and close-toed shoes and bring gloves.
The Clarksville ReStore is located 404 Madison St. Habitat will provide documentation for those performing community service.
