Athens First Saturday
About
The mission of Athens First Saturday is to put the people of Athens County FIRST. Anyone is welcome to join in the various activities that are planned each month. Starting at 9:00 am, we gather in the downstairs Fellowship Hall. You do not have to arrive promptly at 9:00 am to join! We pack up and go home at Noon, so there is plenty of time and plenty of tasks to complete. It is a fun, lively time with multiple ways to get involved.
We’ve accomplished…
Trash pickup at our Adopt-a-Highway site on route 682 through The Plains
Trail clearing with the Athens Conservancy
Making blankets for those in need, including providing some for every Athens police cruiser
Homemade dog biscuits for the dogs at the dog shelter
Filling parking meters, especially on OU move-in weekends
Providing quarters for those washing/drying clothes at the laundromat
Making positive chalk messages on the sidewalk
Leading worship for those at the Lindley Inn
Making cookies for children at the Akron Children’s Hospital
…and much more!
