If you have a school or organized group in need of volunteer hours, please reach out to us by calling 606-265-1902 to it up. We need your help to keep our county clean and to meet our grant requirements! Girl and Boy Scouts, Church Groups, Beta Clubs, Veterans, Homemakers, Etc. are always more than welcome.
