Teenagers devote time to volunteer in the community
0623aid5
The Gainesville Aid Project, a mission project of Antioch United Methodist Church, builds a deck at Yvonne Wilson’s home where her original one became unsafe.
Six teenagers sit around mounds of fresh-dug dirt, with tools, rather than cellphones, in hand. Their hands are dirty, their brows are sweaty, and they are happy. This summer marks the 35th year the Gainesville Aid Project has taken groups of teenagers around the community doing yard work, making home repairs and providing any service they can to the elderly, disabled and disadvantaged.
