Lend a hand

The Birmingham volunteers will partner with volunteers from Hands on Biloxi and Hands on New Orleans to gut and renovate houses, work at animal shelters, read to schoolchildren, remove litter and debris, paint murals and more.
Find out more at a free information session at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 18, at John’s City Diner, 112 Richard Arrington Jr. Blvd., downtown. Learn how to sign up and what to expect on the trip. Also, meet members from April’s volunteer team.
