Hello Metro! Hope you enjoyed the spectacular weather this past weekend. Let's spring into action with a snapshot of March's service opportunities!
MARCH SERVICE PROJECTS
Get service credit while you party! Most of the shifts are full but there is 1 spot left for clean up.
Join us for the check presentation to our ASP Re:Purpose, and to help clean up one of their big storage shed bays with materials from their very first ever decon project, the Anderson Twins. This service project is for ages 13+.
The Anderson Twins, built in 1874, were a pair of Victorian homes that once stood on Anderson street and Martin Luther King Boulevard. Number 414 had fallen victim to Hurricane Irma and 418 had to be removed quickly.
What could be saved was transported to their lumber yard in haste and has been waiting to be processed and made available to the community. The Re:Purpose crew is so excited to tackle this long awaited project with us. These Victorian buildings were incredibly special, an example of a shift in building craftsmanship from timber framed to balloon.
