Sunday, April 3 Construction Update

The Vision House Jacob’s Well project made great progress today! We will be working on Sunday, April 3 from 1-5. Tomorrow we only need professional, skilled and semi-skill volunteers who have experience with beams, framing, TJIs and decking on the second floor. We also need someone for first aid and photography.

We will look forward to seeing you onsite if you fit the above description! If not, there will be MANY more opportunities over the next few weeks. Please check back frequently.

Thanks!
