A message from ASAP
Dear ASAP members and Avondale members,
The 2020 service project for ASAP was to collect pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House to be recycled. Many Avondale members joined us in our effort. Happily we collected 17.4 pounds for them to send to be recycled. We were able to help 4 families spend a night near their sick child in the hospital.
We want to start our collecting pop tabs again and ask Avondale members and friends to join us. It is so simple. MANY cans now have pop tabs on them. Just keep collecting till June which will be our next turn in date. We can easily exceed our 17 pounds if we all work together. You can turn your tabs in any time to the church office or call Brenda Coble 980-297-4997 for pick up arrangements.
May God continue to Bless Us All in 2021
The ASAP Planning Team

A message from Roof Above
"Thank you so much for the Avondale Blessing Bags for our clients! Some of our guys were a little disappointed back in early December when they found out that there wouldn’t be a party because of COVID-19, so those gift bags really meant A LOT. I’m so happy that our clients could have a brighter holiday thanks to Avondale!"

MLK National Holiday
"Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. believed in celebrating and promoting the worth of every human being. In his pursuit of equal rights by nonviolent means, Dr. King encouraged diverse cultures to live together in a spirit of love, understanding and service to one another." - City of Charlotte

MLK Day of Service
Did you know that the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday is an official day of service in addition to a day to celebrate the civil rights leader’s life and legacy? In 1994, Congress passed the King Holiday and Service Act, designating the Martin Luther King Jr. Federal Holiday as a national day of service.
