Our Volunteers
At Friends of Historic Mount Pleasant Inc., our volunteers are the heartbeat of our mission. They are neighbors, families, students, and community members who dedicate their time, energy, and passion to preserving the history of Mount Pleasant. Every project we take on, every story we share, and every event we host is made possible because of the commitment of our volunteers.
