On June 27th a group of 34 dedicated, energetic and capable volunteers, more than half of them from UCUMC, braved the heat and humidity to participate in Rebuilding Together Cleveland's "Rebuilding Day". They helped rehab, restore and repair the home of a 64-year-old woman unable to do much of her own home maintenance. When she saw the amount and quality of the work completed in just one day, she was "ecstatic" and at times overcome with tears.
The volunteers repaired plumbing, installed a washtub, scraped and painted house trim, landscaped back yard, front flower bed and walkway, rebuilt a chain link gate in the driveway, cleaned gutters and drains and cleaned debris from a burned down garage. The report was that upon completion the project would have rated a perfect "10" on any home improvement show!
A tip of the (hard) hat to Bob Taylor as the moving force behind getting UCUMC involved in our first Mission Project right here in our own backyard. And, a HUGE round of applause for ALL the volunteers who graciously shared their time and their many talents with this important organization. Keep your eyes open for more outreach opportunities!
