9th Annual Hands On Athens
April 4th-6th, 2008
Project Weekend Is a Success!!!
Note: Please review our annual photo report. Two homes are still in progress and photos will be posted once work is complete.
Although the weather held us back on Saturday, the ninth annual Hands On Athens marked another successful weekend. We would like to thank the 200 plus volunteers who came out and worked on our 12 project homes in the historic Hancock Corridor, East Athens, and Newtown neighborhoods
Despite the weather, we repaired roofs; we repaired and rebuilt porches; we landscaped and built walkways; we built porch and stair railings; we replaced over 100 light bulbs with energy efficient bulbs and made other energy efficient improvements; we made electrical repairs; we added gutters; we repaired bouncy floors; we replaced siding; we replaced windows; we replaced doors; we cleaned up yards; we repaired and replaced rotted wood; and we scraped, primed, and painted and painted and painted. All in one weekend!
Hands On Athens would not be possible without the generosity of our volunteers and sponsors. Below is a list of the agencies, organizations, businesses and individuals that contributed their time and energy to Hands On Athens 2008.
Thank you all!
