Volunteering: Making a Difference
Whether it's a new home or a critical home repair, the work CVHFH does makes an indisputable difference. You can join us in that journey, whether you're experienced carpentry, plumbing and/or electric; or a novice wanting to learn more. We work on Mondays and Fridays for about 4-5 hours, with lunch provided. All that we ask is that you join us every so often so as to not lose your acquired skills; and you get to know all the other fantastic CVHFH volunteers. Email ed-cvhfh@embarqmail.com if this sounds like the work you'd like to do to help someone else and yourself at the same time.
All Done!
It took us longer than we anticipated, but we're all done with our latest home at 112 West Penn Street in Carlisle. Our dedicated volunteers worked hard to turn an old rental property into a family's new home that comes with new heating/cooling, flooring, walls, painting, roof, and kitchen/bathroom renovations. A lot of outside work was also done in removing trees, branches, and putting up new fencing. With political campaigns working hard to tell us about "affordable housing", here's a solution. This home will sell for 10% LESS than its appraised value. And for all the work put into it, it's pretty much a new home. Our next future home is at 116 West Penn Street.
