VALDOSTA — Lowndes Associated Ministries to People Inc. will hold its annual Community Block Festival from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on Saturday at 714 Charlton St.
The purpose of the block festival is to make residents aware of the many free community resources that are available to them — resources that can make a difference in the quality of their lives.
The Community Block Festival will feature fun for the entire family, free food, drinks, entertainment, music, dancing, games, prizes, and so much more.
LAMP will also give away some free Thanksgiving turkey baskets to families who qualify.
LAMP serves the needy and the homeless in the community through four departments — Emergency Housing, a short-stay (30 days) shelter for men, women and children; Transitional Housing, a longer stay shelter of up to 24 months of residence and six months of after-care services; Helpers Unlimited, which provides emergency assistance to those in need with food, clothing, rent, utilities and transportation; and Health Care, which provides assistance for individuals with their medical prescriptions, dental and eye care.
