Volunteer for just 1 route – 1 day a week – or offer to be an “alternate” driver

In the past, LACPC’s participation in this great event has been outstanding!
This year we hope to again sponsor or share a sponsorship of a house ($1500)
as well as provide a team of volunteers of all ages !!
If we are able to sponsor a house ~~ and ~~ we already have $ 635 ~~

We work on houses that need repairs/maintenance owned by seniors,
those with disabilities and/or families with children
who lack the income to have or do the work necessary.
Volunteers work together by group – unless so many sign-up
that they may need to become two groups!
Please see or call John Moore (337-9100) to sign-up
as well as
make any $$ monetary $$ donations
you would like to consider towards our house!!
