Record Turnout for ABA Volunteer Day Transforms New Beginnings

摘要

"We repaired the roof, installed a new solar water heater, installed new interior and exterior doors, frames and hardware, installed new exterior insulated windows, new kitchen cabinets and bedroom closet shelving, new floor covering and a new stove and refrigerator for the kitchen. This unit was redesigned to meet ADA accessibility to include a new entry porch and concrete ramp," he says. Much of the work had to be done prior to Volunteer Day. "We had to draw the plans, get the permit and gut the house prior to December 2. We started working on the project in October," he says. The morning of the event, a 10-member volunteer committee organized the volunteers as they arrived. Each committee member acted as a foreman for a certain task such as exterior painting, fence repairs, and landscaping.
