The Liberty Interact Club recently completed a community service project in partnership with community volunteers, Interact advisers, and Liberty Middle School students to construct benches for the town of Liberty. Through the efforts of 23 volunteers, six benches were successfully built during the project. Three benches will be placed along the Walnut Mountain House History Trail, while the remaining three benches will be installed throughout the community for residents and visitors to enjoy.

This project provided students with valuable hands-on experience in teamwork, woodworking, problem solving, and community service. Students had the opportunity to work alongside community members while learning practical construction skills and the importance of giving back to their community.

A special thank you goes to the Liberty High School Woodworking Class for engraving the boards used for the benches. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail added a personalized and lasting touch to the project that will be appreciated for years to come.

The Liberty Interact Club also funded the purchase of the wood and materials needed to complete the benches, demonstrating the club’s continued commitment to service and community improvement initiatives within the town of Liberty.

“This project reflects the importance of creating meaningful opportunities for youth to become involved in their community, build pride in where they live, and experience the impact of volunteerism firsthand,” adviser Alyssa Thalmann said.

The completed benches and trail improvements will officially be showcased during the Grand Opening of the Walnut Mountain House History Trail starting at 10 a.m. June 6.
