Habitat, volunteer groups to join forces for first Impact Day

HAYDEN - Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit that helps people in need find housing or repair homes, seeks volunteers for the first Impact Day on May 16.

The new event will utilize Habitat volunteer teams to provide one-day home repair projects for qualifying low-income homeowners, with a special focus on helping the elderly, disabled, veterans and single-parent households.

Projects include yard cleanup, fence repairs, inside and outside painting and construction of wheelchair ramps.

Volunteer work crews consist of church, corporate and special interest teams throughout the community, though individual volunteers are welcome to sign up as well.

Teams will be accepted through April 8.

Team captains will begin preparation planning on April 14. If you have a team, or would like to see if your home qualifies for a project, contact Katrina Boyer at [email protected] or call 762-4663, ext. 4.

Projects will be accepted until April 1.
