Community Bucket Volunteers with Piney Grove Cemetery

Come out and volunteer with us at Piney Grove Cemetery then catch up with your new crew afterwards.

Join us on Saturday, February 22 at 10 am as we volunteer with Piney Grove Cemetery, a historic black cemetery that has been unfortunately neglected through the years. This event will be in honor of Richard Thomas and Beth Marcus. We will be working with the community to clean and beautify the overgrown site.

NOTE: We recommend wearing pants, close toe shoes, bring water, bug spray etc. This event will be taking place outside with overgrown shrubbery. If you have extra gloves or gardening tools, please bring as well.

The address of the event is 834 Canterbury Road NE, Atalanta, GA 30324.

Parking: There is no public road access to the cemetery. Canterbury Road dead ends at the front gate of the Bluffs at Lenox. To the right of the gate there is a grassy lane that takes you to the cemetery. We will have someone from Community Bucket waiting by the beginning of the road. Volunteers should park on Canterbury or Pine Tree Road (to the left at the end of Canterbury).

Social: After be sure to join us at SweetWater Brewing Company (195 Ottley Dr NE, Atlanta, GA 30324) from 12:30 pm - 1:30pm.

***PLEASE only RSVP to this event if you can attend - spots are limited and our nonprofits depend on your participation. If you can no longer attend, 'unregister' so others can go.
