THOMASVILLE, GA (WALB) -

More than 500 young volunteers will serve those in need in Thomasville Saturday.

The Inside Out Nation outreach is coordinating community service projects at more than 20 locations in Thomasville.

Projects will include manna drops, building construction, and landscaping.

"We want to provide opportunities for students and people throughout the city to serve with those organizations and to serve people in their own backyard, but also to create awareness so they can get plugged in on a more consistent basis than just once a month," said Project Coordinator Bryan Watt.

Volunteer opportunities are still available for those who watch to pitch in.
