Sam Starsick generously
donated this lot on Palatine Ave. This three
bedroom 1 bathroom house is being built for our
partner family Crystal Postlethwait and her
daughter Olivia. The house actually faces the
alleyway between Potomac and Palatine Ave, so
the address may change to Arch St (the alley).
You can help by signing up
to volunteer. |

Thank you everyone for your constant help and support.
Without all of you we couldn't do what we do. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Please have a look at our
volunteer calendar! We would love you to
help out on the worksite. We do pre-schedule
groups, and generally the worksite is
comfortable with around 10 people. You are
welcome to volunteer on any day the worksite is
open, but please be aware that on scheduled days
the worksite may get crowded and increase the
amount of down time for volunteers. If this
happens please be patient with us and know that
we truly appreciate each and every volunteer and
their time!
Please contact us by EMAIL or call (304)
363-4244 if you have any questions about
volunteering or would like to schedule a group. |
