Summerville Main Street volunteers working on Easter decorations

Held in April every year, National Volunteer Month is a time to celebrate and recognize the contributions of volunteers. It is an opportunity to join the impact of volunteerism and encourage more people to get involved in their communities. The Summerville City Council recognized a group of volunteers at the last city council meeting.  Summerville Mayor Harry Harvey introduced the Summerville Main Street volunteers and mentioned their contributions to making the downtown area an attractive place for residents and visitors alike.  Summerville Main Street Director Susan Locklear said that the volunteers put in over 3,100 hours of labor in 2023.  Summerville Main Street is also launching a Junior Main Street Program for youths from 7th to 12th grade.
