Community Call to Action: Support Bennett’s Bridge Cleanup Project in Cumming

CUMMING, GA — A new community initiative aimed at serving adults with special needs is coming to Cumming, GA and local volunteers are gathering to help make it a reality.

Bennett’s Bridge, located at the site of the former Freedom Mill site is set to become a dedicated facility and resource hub for the special needs community.

Volunteers Needed for Initial Cleanup Phase

To kick off preparations, an initial site cleanup and preparation session is scheduled for:

• Date: Monday, October 12, 2026
• Time: 10:00 AM (expected to last roughly two to three hours could be longer depending the support)
• Location: Bennett’s Bridge 2730 Spot Rd. Cumming, GA (the former Freedom Mill site)

Members of local congregations and community organizations, including area churches, are coming together to assist with cleaning, organizing, and cleaning up the property to prepare the facility for opening the doors and other upcoming renovations.
