Volunteers completed 75% of the roof repairs last week at Habitat for Humanity’s Central Park Drive Rehab so plans are set for this week to finish up the roof, to remove the cracked front sidewalk and to pour a new one.
Next week, trades will be in to work on the electrical and HVAC systems. Volunteers will start on bathroom renovations and prep the kitchen for when the new cabinets arrive. Visit the Volunteer Calendar to register as a volunteer and to get involved! Groups or individuals are welcome.
Lunch donors, please help us feed our hungry volunteers. Bringing lunch is a great way to make a whole lot of people happy and to receive a deduction for your contribution to a qualified 501(c)3 non-profit! We’re grateful to Susan Allersmeyer for donating lunch to the worksite last Thursday. She made enough meatball subs to feed the volunteers on Friday, too!
Volunteers learn new skills or practice and teach the ones they know! We’re thankful for the help of these volunteers on the Central Park Drive Rehab this week: Family Partner Tesfaye Abuye; Arthur Butt; Dave Williams; John Driscoll; Barbara Beverage; Megan Beverage; Geenelle Calliste; Maggy Machado; Joyce Hudson and Jefferson Thompson.
