AMP It Up Volunteer Event - July 27, 2016 - Downtown Middlesboro

Volunteers are at the heart of our work in downtown Middlesboro.


On July 27, volunteers from the tri-state area and beyond will gather to get Middlesboro ready for exciting summer events. Starting at 4 p.m. volunteers will gather in the Levitt AMP lot, in between the Public Library and Cumberland Avenue. Volunteers will help get the lot ready for the upcoming FREE concert series!  Others will build raised garden beds as part of the USDA’s Local Foods, Local Places Program. Please register by calling (606) 499-7894, e-mailing middlesborovolunteers@gmail.com or by going to our Facebook page, facebook.com/DDMboro.

The Levitt AMP Concert Series is coming back for a second year. Starting July 30 and running for 10 weeks there will be free concerts, events and a chance for everyone to come together for family-friendly fun. Volunteers will get the space ready, help prepare for food vendors and take ownership of the site.

We will be grilling out to feed our hungry helpers! Chips and drinks will be available also. Our urban garden has some healthy vegetables ready to eat on the side!

“This is an opportunity for community members to really come together to make Middlesboro work for them,” said Isaac Kremer, Executive Director of Discover Downtown Middlesboro. “We have the chance to transform the Historic Downtown into a place for everyone to enjoy year-round.”
           
Volunteers are asked to meet at 4 p.m. at the Levitt AMP lot. There is plenty of parking in the City Parking lot behind the Palace at 2008 Cumberland Avenue.
