MLK Day of Service with St. Louis 1st Platoon

January 21, 2019

09:30 AM - 02:30 PM CST

St. Louis Platoon

Event overview

Join The Mission Continues and Americorps VISTA members from across the region as we serve in honor of the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. We will be in the St. Louis Promise Zone. The Promise Zone’s six goals include increasing economic activity, increasing workforce readiness, improving educational outcomes, improving health & wellness, reducing serious & violent crime and developing sustainable communities. Our service will take place at Twillman Elementary School, where we will be assisting with catching up on general maintenance items that are currently backlogged. This will include repairing walls, floorboards, painting doorways and trim, stairs, and other items. The school also needs to replace a small set of lower cabinets in the teacher's lounge that are badly water damaged. This would include removing and reinstalling the sink. If anyone has this expertise or has connections to someone who does, please contact us.
