Fishers of Men Participates in Another project in Richmond Starting September 12th 2009.
The home we are working on is in Richmond, TX at the corner of 10th and Preston. The new homeowners, Heather & "Pink" Turner, will be working along side of us. The Turners have 2 young children and live in a one bedroom home with no central heat and only one window AC unit. They have sewage that backs up into their yard, and they need your help! "Pink" is on disability and is an active volunteer at Fort Bend's Habitat Resale Center in Stafford. Heather is employed by Texana.
The build begins on September 12, 2009 and continue through the following
8-10 Saturdays. Please see the schedule below for more details.
Thank You for Your Help with the 2008 Rosenburg Build!
-from the Habitat Chapter Specialist to all volunteers (not just Fishers)
"I want to thank you for your support of the 2008 build in Rosenburg. Over the duration of the build, you provided help and encouragement including 253 person days of labor. I was awed at the faithfulness of those who showed up on very hot days to work so hard."
Fishers of men provided approximately 30% of the labor. God is so good! Let's do it again!!
Schedule
