There are only a few days left to vote “Decatur” in Creative Loafing’s annual “Best of Atlanta” awards!

Of particular note this year, there’s a push among Decatur residents to vote “Volunteer! Decatur” the “Best Volunteer Program” in the survey.   Parker Cross sends along some info that notes that Volunteer Decatur!…

…has increased its volunteer involvement from 523 volunteers contributing 1,595 hours (averaging 3 hours per person) in 2001 (first full year of program) to 2,403 volunteers contributing 13,427 hours (averaging 5.6 hours per person) in 2010. This is a 360% increase in volunteers and a 86% increase in volunteer hours per person.

For those who may not know, Volunteer! Decatur organizes volunteer time not only for the annual MLK Service Project, but also most of Decatur’s festivals.

And voting for Volunteer! Decatur couldn’t be easier!  “Volunteer program” is just the fifth item down the Cityscape list after you log in to vote!  (As opposed to “Best Blog” and “Best Blogger” which are down near the bottom of the page.)

Of course, while you’re there you can vote for all of your other favorite Decatur (and non-Decatur, I guess) spots!   Do it, and make sure Decatur isn’t
