COASTAL CENTER—Dept. of Disabilities & Special Needs Residential Healthcare

Location and Time:

9995 Miles Jamison Road, Summerville, SC
Meet at 8:00 am atthe Coastal Center

Activity/responsibility:

• On April 10th, we need 4 or 5 men with power washers to help prep the gazebo for painting and wash the walkways & stone
benches.
• On April 17th we will meet at the Coastal Center Memorial Garden at 8am (babysitting will be available at the church building
for drop off at 7:45am).
• We will be sprucing up their Memorial Garden. The entire facility is over 45 acres and has only 2 landscape maintenance
workers to cover the entire area. They do not have the resources to do much more than cut the grass so parts of the
Memorial Garden have been understandably neglected.
• The Memorial Garden is a place where family members can come and visit with residents or sit quietly to remember those
who have passed.
• We will be cleaning up walkways, a gazebo and several stone and wood benches, cleaning out planter beds and replacing pine
straw so that the garden looks clean and kept for a fundraiser they will be having a little over a week after we’ve cleaned.

Tools or skills required:

• Work gloves
• rakes, shovels, spades & outdoor brooms
• painting utensils,
• power-washers

The building was recently purchased and donated to Low Country Orphan Relief. The grounds and structure have not received adequate maintenance until recently. Habitat For Humanity recently converted the garage into an office and volunteers assembled and installed shelving and painted a room. The facility needs cleaning throughout, interior and exterior painting and reorganization of racks and shelving. The grounds need light landscaping and creation of a gravel-covered parking area with concrete parking barriers.

Clear brush from the entrance area along the front of the property.  Plant shrubs and flowers in this space.  Clean the entire property of leaves and debris and dispose of debris.  Plant shrubs and flowers along the walkway from the entrance road and leading up to the dormitory building.  Plant flowers and shrubs along the front of the dormitory building.  Mulch all trees on the property leaving this magnificent property in a restored state that not only the girls and staff will be proud of but for all who enter to enjoy. After this project is complete, it is our hope that this dormitory building will take on reflections of a home rather than an institution.

If you have painting and repair talents, we need your help.  If you enjoy gardening and being outdoors, and if you would like to help ease the suffering of those without families, we would love for you to join us in this effort at restoration of the building and grounds of the orphanage.  There is something for everyone to do. 

Ages:

Anyone eight (8) years and older is welcome to join us on this Day of Service at the Orphanage.
