Join Hands Day Through the Years
In 2008, Join Hands Day in Duluth worked at Bethany Crisis Nursery. About 26 youth and adult volunteers from seven local Lutheran churches transformed the recreation room and an adjoining sitting area. Two additional crews went on a shopping spree to replenish supplies such as diapers and ping-pong nets and balls, and toilitries that were later assembled into 50 personal kits.



In 2007, Join Hands Day in Duluth focused on the zoo and the Western Waterfront Trail. One group painted picnic tables, while two others erected signs and a fourth group planted a perennial garden in the Western Waterfront Trail parking lot.
