February Sites

Students from DeSales, East Catholic, and Kellenberg came for a week. We had a lot of fun with the warm weather, and we completed the first official Flip Em’s tournament. Susan put up a new ceiling at Jeanie's.

The new duck barn took shape with Robby.
Allyson and Zack replaced paneling in two rooms in Spelter.

April Worksite Updates

During April we hosted past volunteers, staff, and friends for Holy Week. During the week we constructed raised beds in our Deacon’s garden. The week ended with the traditional Seder Meal, Stations of the Cross hike, and a sunrise hike up to the rock Easter morning.
After a rejuvenating retreat in the middle of the month, the staff replaced drywall in Jean's bathroom ceiling. We also patched a hole in Lee’s roof and put new metal over his bathroom.

Spring Break Fun! (March Worksites)

March started with a trifecta of college Spring Break weeks! Over 100 volunteers came through the hollow. We extended some big projects over a few weeks and flew through some smaller ones. Zack and Jordan (and everyone else for random days in between) completed a massive roof over a double-wide trailer!
Susan repaired a long exterior staircase in Salem. She also replaced decking boards for Katie.
Robby replaced a living room floor in Center Point and then prepared the gardens for planting. Allyson did a project a week: a roof over a porch, a wheelchair ramp in Salem, and drywall for Wayne.
Our ducks also arrived at the end of the month!
