Licensed Contractors Needed
Become A Volunteer
Please Make A Donation When You Can. We need your support. Most of our current work has been helping members of our community for free. Although we have enjoyed everything we have done for our clients, we must expand our programs. $2 from each visitor to our website would go a long way to support all of our wonderful programs. Thank You.

Licensed Contractors Needed
If you are a Licensed Contractor, please consider overseeing a community project.
Revitalize Our Community is a program that will provide home repairs and yard assistance to low-income seniors, veterans, and adults with a disability based on a sliding fee scale. Our targeted households cannot afford the regular costs of these services (or typically anything else). Their homes are falling apart around them, and it will only get worse. Making homes safe for our fragile population is important to us.
We are raising $5000 to pay the licensing fees for our current carpenter to become licensed.
Make a tax-deductible donation to help us achieve our goal of obtaining a general contractor license!

We have 5 acres to build our facility! Help us grow. We need a facility to implement many of our programs to reduce the costs of renting space from other commercial entities. We are raising $100,000 for this project.
