The Fulton County Board of Commissioners has officially designated October 7 as Manga Day! In recognition of this important decision, our Founder and Director has announced that our annual Manga Volunteer Appreciation Day will move from November to October 7. Our nonprofit is made stronger by the dedication, commitment, and support of our volunteers and their family members. We want to include them in this special celebration because they played an important role in helping us achieve this milestone. October 7 is now an opportunity to celebrate not only Manga but also the wonderful volunteers and families whose hard work and support have helped make this achievement possible. Thank you to all our volunteers and family members for being part of our journey. This special day belongs to you, too!
