2013 Middletown Group Workcamps Home Repair Initiative: July 7-13
SELF is partnering again with the national non-profit Group Workcamps Foundation to bring volunteer-driven home repairs to qualifying low-income homeowners in Middletown, Ohio from July 7-13, 2013. Free home repairs & mobility improvements are offered to homeowners who are financially and physically unable to perform the work themselves. A local committee will select up to 80 homes for repairs. Approximately 50 homes will receive work during the GWC blitz week and the rest will be completed throughout the year.
Approximately 300 junior and senior high school students from all parts of the US will be converging on Middletown to perform this valuable service work ranging from painting and porch repairs to construction of handicap ramps. Campers will provide more than 12,000 hours of free labor to improve our community! An additional 300 local volunteers are needed to prepare sites, welcome campers, solicit donations and complete any unfinished tasks. Can you help us? Learn more.
