Each year, on September 11, the Advocate Networks team supports the mission of the Mountain Top Boys Home, a foster home for teenage boys in Calhoun, Georgia. This year we had another successful service day at the home with enthusiastic leadership from our 15 Advocate volunteers and Richard Bayersdorfer, a former customer.
Our team completed a wide range of projects, including trimming hedges across the property, spreading several hundred bales of pine straw, distributing gravel over the driveway and walkways to control soil erosion, creating a rock creek bed, cleaning up and planting shrubs around a memorial for two volunteers, and pouring a new footer for a basketball post.
The landscaping and clean-up work made a significant difference in the property's appearance. We also hope it showed the boys that people care about them and their home.
The Mountain Top Boys Home serves to provide discipline, support and education to boys aged 14 to 17, who have no parent or guardian fit to care for them. Its goal is to help these boys develop skills that will help them become productive members of society. Advocate Networks appreciates the work that the Mountain Top Boys Home does and we look forward to continuing our service to the organization.
