Avid community volunteer Barry Krebs submitted the following report with photos on a litter cleanup spearheaded by the Word of Faith Church:

We appreciate the volunteers from the Word Of Faith Church as well as Dr Amos and Pastor Christopher Boyd for making the arrangements for our litter cleanup. We worked around their adopted South Service Road and Riverside Pkwy making the Six Flags area litter free. Because of their efforts, the many visitors got a positive impression of our new City Of Mableton.

If you or your church is interested in the Adopt-A-Mile program, please reach out to Dawn at keepcobbbeautiful@cobbcounty.org . She will order your signs and provide you with your supplies.
