AW Helping Hands Spring 2009 Event

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
On Saturday, March 7th, AW Helping Hands participated in the 1st Annual Extreme Mission Makeover at the Charlotte Rescue Mission. The Charlotte Rescue Mission helps individuals caught in the cycle of poverty, homelessness, and chemical addictions. Click here to learn more about this organization.

The goals for the Extreme Mission Makeover were to repurpose a basement into 6 dorm rooms and a bathroom, re-carpet a classroom, paint multiple rooms, repurpose the gym, and landscape the grounds. Volunteers from Addison Whitney, Bella Tunno, and Ashland Custom Homes were split up into teams to address each goal. Einstein Bro’s Bagels, Outback Steakhouse, and Brixx Pizza kept us well fed and GAP provided great t-shirts for the event.

Many hands make light work; although my sore muscles suggest otherwise, our goals were big and at the end of the day we met them all!
