hopes to attract dozens of volunteers to provide home repair services for needy low-income families.
PWC said that during 2023's event, more than 450 volunteers spent time painting, repairing walkways, and more at 50 homes in the Tri-State. 2024's event is no different, volunteers will be installing handrails, repairing drywall, fixing leaky plumbing, and more. Many of these homeowners are elderly, veterans, or single parents or grandparents raising children.
The work of these volunteer events can sometimes mean that a person is able to stay in their home when they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford a needed repair.“We look for people who have more home repair skills for this particular event, but there’s a place for everyone. If you can hold a paint brush and slap some paint on somebody’s porch columns, probably find a place for you,” People Working Cooperatively Volunteer Program Manager Brian McLaughlin said.
