Residents who want to be part of Florence's Make a Difference Day and want to help the community still have time to register.

The annual Makes a Difference Day offers a variety of projects for residents and volunteers to participate in. All the projects are aimed at making a positive impact on the community.

Projects may include cleaning, painting, collecting litter, digging and planting. Individuals, families and organizations can still register through Friday at https://bit.ly/3X5B1PH.

Make a Difference starts at 7 a.m., Saturday, Oct. 19 at the Viney Jones Library Community Center, 778 N. Main St.

Those who can’t volunteer can still be part of the effort by donating to one or all of four collection drives for charity:

Recycle a bike for foster kids

The town is collecting new or gently used bicycles (24 inches tall or shorter) for foster children. The public can drop off bikes from 7 to 11 a.m., Oct. 19 at the community center

The deadline for the following collection drives is Friday, Nov. 22:

Teen hygiene products

  • For females – facial care items, soaps, deodorant
