KIDS UNITED TOGETHER (KUT) KUT is a nonprofit youth center in Apalachicola, Florida. Kids served by this organization range in age from 5-18 years. KUT has been open for two years, operating in a gym sponsored by the city. The organization is in need of funding for repairs on the facility and for activity equipment. In an attempt to fundraise, KUT is holding a two weekend Haunted House this October. All admission proceeds will go to the center. KUT is fully insured and has been given permission to move forward by their mother nonprofit, Franklin's Promise. The next step is to stand before the county commissioner at an upcoming meeting to get their permission and support. Before the meeting, there needs to be a full plan of execution, along with reliable adult resources and volunteers to help build the Haunted House and put together a Halloween mini festival for the younger children. If you can help by volunteering your time or donating materials or funds, contact Sunny Stultz-Dunaway at 843-957-3248 or [email protected].
ART ALLEYS Art Alley participants have cleaned and greened two alleyways in the Gaines Street and All Saints area in Tallahassee with the goal of creating “art/plant zones” and other spaces that broadly relate to the region. Volunteers and students are beginning to research other green spaces in the neighborhood and collaborate with local businesses and land owners to determine the most eco-friendly environment to create. Volunteers are needed to assist with watering, weeding, planting and planning events and also interacting with the homeless that frequent the alleys and surrounding neighborhood. Depending on the number of volunteers, we may plan an art event this summer, 2013. Every First Friday this summer we will set up the Doodle Cart and provide other interactive art activities off Gaines Street. For more information and to volunteer contact Paul Rutkovsky at [email protected].
