SANDY SPRINGS, GA -- Residents and stakeholders invested in making Sandy Springs a great place to live will come together on Saturday to work towards that goal.

Volunteer for a Better Sandy Springs, sponsored by Leadership Sandy Springs, will be held from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. April 16.

Kickoff for the event, which will take place rain or shine, begins at North Springs Charter High School at 7447 Roswell Road, with breakfast provided to registered participants and inspirational comments by Mayor Rusty Paul. Free T-shirts will be given out as long as supplies last.

Following the kickoff, volunteers will disperse to one of the work sites.

The annual community day of service is expected to draw dozens of residents and stakeholders eager to enhance the city through hundreds of volunteer service hours.

The program of giving back has grown over the years, as more sponsors and volunteers have stepped up to the plate to provide funding, materials and labor to make improvements to 21 local nonprofit organizations, government establishments and public schools.

Registration is underway, and volunteers can sign up via the online form on the LSS website. Membership in LSS is not a requirement for participation. Work tasks will include landscaping, painting, carpentry, organization and general clean-up projects.

This year's work sites can be found online. Volunteers are particularly needed to donate their time at Ison Springs and Woodland elementary schools, the Community Assistance Center, Ridgeview and Sandy Springs Charter middle schools, North Springs Charter High School, the Benson Senior Center Complex and the Sandy Springs Tennis Center.

This year's sponsors include Choate Construction, BB&T, Coca Cola, Couchman Noble Foundation, Jabian Consutling Northside Hospital, Optech Family Of Company, Resource Planning Group, Sandy Springs Society, Yellobee Studio, Delta Credit Union, Holy Spirit Preparatory School, O'Daniel McDonald LLC, The Joint/Massage Envy Spa and W Design Landscape, Inc.
