MMM vols assist with
clean-up; we have two
buckets, one filled with
soapy water, one
with rinse water. We
also supply plenty of
paper towels!

Kids get an ASK or MMM sticker when they
leave….as they wander through the event, it’s
great advertising!

While one vol
works with the
kids, the other talks
with parents.

A donations jar, brochures,
stickers and other
information are a crucial part of the
project. Sign-up sheets are
a must --we’ve added hundreds of
people to our data base this
way.

We use our banners at press conferences; we’ve wrapped schools, parks, churches, a community
health clinic; and we have plans to wrap our state legislature!

Hands Without Guns is the creation of Marcia Owen,
mother of 2 sons, who has worked for many years on gun violence prevention in
our community.

Marcia and WT Chapter president Karen Stark have developed the original idea into an effective outreach program throughout North
Carolina.
