Help Needed! Project Stepping Stone Work Days!

We’re doing one big final push to finish up some house remodeling and ready a house for move-in by September 1st and we need your help!

Project Stepping Stone is planning work days on:

Tuesday, August 10, 2021 (main goal: painting)
Thursday, August 12, 2021 (main goal: painting)

New – Thursday, August 26, 2021 (main goal: painting) – beginning at 10am!
Saturday, August 28, 2021 (main goal: cleaning)

If we could get just six people to help paint and clean on each of those days, we would be ticking off things on the to-do list faster than ever. More people would allow for us to expand the work into one of the other houses. And, don’t let the main goals fool you – if you don’t want to paint, but want to help, we can find a job for you! (For a full list of work to be completed see here)

With the current economy, there’s a lot of need for shelter housing in Delaware County (and everywhere – we’ve had to turn people away who were calling from outside the county). We want these homes to be safe and welcoming, which is why we’ve put so much work into them – but now they need to be done so we can actually welcome a family in.

Work starts at 9am on each day and will go to mid-afternoon. We’ve got an AC installed in 1241 that is keeping the house a reasonable temperature, and snacks and lunch will be provided. For questions, please email Maria at projectsteppingstone@gmail.com
