Kaboom

 
Junior Auxiliary members are pairing up with the KaBoom organization to build area playgrounds for the youth in our community. This year in June, the members of JA assisted with the Woolmarket Community Center KaBoom Playground. Members assisted the organization with activities for the youth on the playground site, such as helping the children paint a wall mural and map for the asphalt that will be used on the playground, keeping the kids safe and away from the construction site, decorating garbage cans, painting playhouses, hand impressions in the concrete, etc. This is a very worthwhile project for JA to be involved with to help rebuild the community for the children and costs JA nothing but time. The project is funded by the Hurricane Recovery Fund, Gulf Coast Community Foundation, Fannie Mae and the Foundation for the Mid-South.
