A Kick-start to Summer with PWC
Posted on June 03, 2011 by
With temperatures now in the high 80s, it’s starting to feel like summer throughout the 20 counties we serve in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. Here at People Working Cooperatively, we’ve got a quite a bit going on this summer!
Did you know we’ll be working with a few special volunteer groups in June and July?
June 28 – July 1 World Changers
This volunteer group has been working with PWC for a few years now. Each summer, they bring hundreds of high school students along with skilled chaperones and do some serious home repairs. This year, they’ll be tackling more home maintenance projects like porch staining with help from PWC.
July 11 – July 15 Group Work Camps
Group Work Camps will bring 400 high school students along with skilled chaperones to work on 60-70 projects through Middletown. This group is hosted by Supports to Encourage Low-income Families (SELF) in Butler County, and PWC is happy to be partnering with them
July 26 – July 28 Know Sweat
This faith-based group will send students throughout the country to work on home repairs. This marks the second year that PWC will work with Know Sweat, and this year, we’ll be working with five groups. Know Sweat is even providing some funding for the home repair materials. PWC is looking forward to seeing the group in action again.
PWC will also be hosting its 7th Annual Golf Outing on Monday, August 15 through HealthCare Friends. The golf outing supports our Modifications for Mobility program, and HealthCare Friends has graciously adopted PWC as its charity of choice to receive proceeds from the outing.
And if you want to get in on the volunteering action, consider calling Volunteer Manager Sara Bourgeois at (513) 351-7921. You can sign up to attend “Home Improvement Saturdays” on the third Saturday of every month.
Enjoy your summer!
