Practical needs include tasks like cleaning gutters, painting trim, or small “handy-man” jobs. And with winter upon us, we would like to help winterize homes. Please limit requests to projects that can be completed in one or two days. While we cannot guarantee that all tasks submitted for consideration will be accomplished, we will certainly do our best to help! More information and an application can be found at the information desk.
