City of Mullens Foundation

The City of Mullens has a long history of operating a municipal swimming pool for the use of area residents. The pool had fallen into disrepair and due to the declining local economy the City was not able to afford to repair the pool. The Foundation has agreed to cover the costs to repair the facility and, for this year, to assist the City in funding the operating costs for the pool. This program primarily benefits the school age children of the City of Mullens and the surrounding areas.

There is an area in the City of Mullens that sits high on a hill overlooking the City. This area is referred to as "tater hill- and the overlook on that site has been repaied by the Foundation. Many visitors to the area visit tater hill.

The Foundation has undertaken a project to help beautify the City of Mullens. Projects included purchasing and maintaining hanging baskets of flowers in the downtown district and refurbishing the highway signs at the points of entry into the City.

The Foundation sponsored two beautification contests during the year, made donations in support of a local little league baseball league, purchased pool passes for underprivileged children, and supported holiday dinners sponsored by the local ministerial association.
