We began and finished interior painting of House #14 on March 17 and March 18, thanks to a rowdy bunch of high-spirited volunteers, including many from Grand County’s generous Jewish community. In all, we had nearly 30 paint-splattered helpers handling the brushes and rollers. Extra thanks to Northwest Ranch Supply in Kremmling for donating and tinting the paint!
Eleven volunteers from Credit Union of the Rockies showed up Sept. 24 to help with House #14. They came to work! They labored alongside prospective homeowner Lacey Lund (front and center of the group photo) to install timbers for the driveway, build a gravel-and-flagstone berm on one side of the house, and help install windows. We’re grateful for all that they did, and to marketing specialist Jessica Lind for sending along photos of their time with us. They also marked their work by inscribing one of the wall studs — a grand Habitat tradition!
Many thanks to SKP, a father-son group from Denver that volunteered to help with construction on House #14 on Saturday, July 30. Their youth, energy, and enthusiasm enabled the Grand County Habitat crew to accomplish in a single day what normally might have taken a month. Interested in having your group participate in solving the county’s affordable housing crisis? Contact Executive Director Lisa Cooper at 970-887-9138 or lcooper@habitatgrandcounty.org.
