Earlier in the week she planted more Fall veggies:
And supported the Special Olympics and the Salvation Army
The theme that kicked off her campaign and that guided her career is what Nunn is coming back to, closing the last three weeks with a statewide service tour.
Some reporting of her service
October 18, 2014
Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Michelle Nunn returned to her volunteer roots on Saturday as she and Jill Biden volunteered at the 25th Hands on Atlanta Day service project.

Saturday’s event was decidedly non-partisan. The words “Perdue,” “Senate,” “Democrat” and “Republican” were never uttered.
Arthur Perkins of Morningside didn’t even know Nunn was going to be at the event.
“I’m happy she is,” Perkins said. “Politics is getting to the point where you either galvanize for big business or for the population as a whole. I feel she’s for the population as a whole.”
Perkins’ friend, Derryl Scott of Lithonia, said he came to Saturday’s event both for the service and to see Nunn.
“She is more for the people, the little people, the middle class,” Scott said. “She stands for the have nots more than the haves.”
An Army veteran, Scott said he believes Nunn will do more to help veterans.
“I know her father did,” Scott said, referring to former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn.

Now you know how this normally works: a politician deposits a glop in a photo-op and, once the picture is taken, moves on to her next event. But that’s not what happened today. Nunn stayed on the line until lunch break, chatting with Patrick Duncan about everything from life at Coke to the situation in Iraq. After it was over, Patrick said he was still undecided about who to vote for, “but the fact that she’s out here, doing this, means something.”

Michelle Nunn has actual enthusiasm for public service projects. She’s been running them for 28 years, most recently as the director of George H.W. Bush’s Points of Light Foundation. She has done an interesting thing in her Senate campaign, staging regular service projects around the state–cleaning up playgrounds, restoring basketball courts, delivering meals.

Albany: August 7, 2014
A Senate candidate and her father, who once held that Senate seat, was in Albany earlier this week as part of a statewide tour to join volunteers and veterans at a food bank warehouse as a means to bring to the forefront community service as well as the impact of military bases in Georgia.
---
Sam Nunn said he has observed the achievements met by members of a community working together — which, in the case of the Albany visit, allowed for food to be more easily distributed to those in the area who need something to put on the table.
Extending helping hands “is what makes this country work,” he said.
