On November 12, the Winona house teamed up with the Imani house and volunteered on a Habitat build site in North Minneapolis . At my work they were encouraging staff members to organize groups to fill in the winter build season, (we build year round at Habitat) so I asked my housemates and Imani and they were all really excited.
So we showed up at 8:30 am on a Saturday ready to build. Reuben, Allie and Kelsey suited up and sprayed insulation in the attic, while Lindsay, James and Kathy broke down insulation cubes and fed them into the insulation spraying device.
The rest of us worked on sheet rocking the walls in the living room area and closets.
I’m looking forward to seeing everyone at the dedication for this site in the spring (which is what I organize at Habitat).
We had so much fun that we are already talking about doing some more build days this winter and maybe even in the spring/summer, when there will be a Habitat site on our block! What do you say, huge LVC build day?
P.S. Feel inspired? Here’s a quick plug- there’s a website with volunteer opportunities for individuals and small group (4 or less people): TC Habitat Volunteer Hub
P.P.S. Americorp member Kate has a site blog for the site we worked on http://tchabitat1091.blogspot.com/
