Alabama NewsCenter — APSO volunteers build communities in Week of Service

By Donna Cope

Members of the Alabama Power Service Organization (APSO) teamed together for Southern Company’s Week of Service, swarming their communities while pouring their hearts and souls into improvements that will make a lasting difference.

Projects ran the gamut: Southeast/Farley APSO volunteers this week are delivering lunches to clients of the Jaxon Life Senior Center in Eufaula, while two chapters held sporting events to raise money for charitable endeavors. In honor of Earth Day, Western Division APSO held a two-part project to provide raised garden beds for the Freewill Baptist Children’s Home of Alabama in Eldridge. The chapter is partnering with a SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) educator, who will teach students about the nutritional benefits of planting their own gardens. Western APSO volunteers will help the children plant seeds.
