It was a bright and beautiful morning for our first volunteer Saturday!! With little notice, I wasn't sure who would be there. I was blessed with many people; Sandy, Claudia, Louis, Dan, Regis, Chris, Jeremy, and Jesse. I know that many people say that kids can't help, but the children of the home owners can. Jesse did work hard today, moving tires, branches, filling in holes, and even building sand castles. Was a very productive morning, many trees were dropped, cut up, branches pulled, grape vines pulled, trash picked up, metal poles dug up, glass found, door knobs put on, and even glass block windows started to get put in. Everyone made sure to take water & rest breaks.
Next week we will start providing lunches to the workers. If anyone would like to help out with this; it can be pizza and wings or sandwiches, or fruit and veggies, whatever; please let me know. Even water is needed. AND that can count as volunteer hours.
