Carol Jewell, right, of Hospice of Northeast Georgia Medical Center, talks Aug. 16, 2014, with volunteers making a knotted fleece blanket at First Presbyterian Church’s 2nd annual Local Mission Expo. “It’s very soft fabric on a patient’s skin, and very warm,” Jewell said of the “no-sew blankets.”
First Presbyterian Church of Gainesville has dedicated thousands of hours in the past two years to celebrate area mission projects and help organizations reach their goals by donating their time. They hope to continue the same tradition this year. Volunteers will team up with 26 local charities at 8 a.m. today for the third annual Local Mission Expo at the church at 800 S. Enota Drive NE in Gainesville.
