Methodists strive for IMPACT Saturday

Marion United Methodist Church is conducting its IMPACT community outreach program all day this Saturday in Marion.


The church, located at 112 South College Street in Marion, will be sponsoring the event, but anyone may volunteer to participate. The program is aimed at helping the community through a variety of projects, including home improvement, downtown cleanup, providing cleaning and personal care products and winter coats to individuals and picking up trash at city parks.


Volunteers will be spiffing up all of downtown, sweeping sidewalks and washing windows, and picking up trash at Veterans Memorial Park and Marion-Crittenden County Park, plus streets leading to them.


Pick up personal items such as toiletries and hygiene products and coats at the church.


The church will provide lunch and supper for those who volunteer to help.
