Volunteer of the Month
For more than a decade, Melanie has been sharing her time, skill, and passion for gardening with the community . She finds that giving back is fulfilling and gives her a chance to keep learning, growing and connecting.
Above all, she values the relationships she has
built with other volunteers in Coweta County
and across Georgia.
Congratulations, Melanie! Your willingness
to co-coordinate Backyard meetings and
serve wherever you are needed is much appreciated.
“What I love most
about Volunteering is the people.
Meeting and making friends with
others who have common interests
is just the best!”
