DreamBuilders has a long-standing partnership with The Arc of Howard County to improve homes, fostering community acceptance and inclusion for developmentally and cognitively challenged individuals. In November, we’ll renovate a group home in Ellicott City. This two-part project involves improving a basement and a screen porch. The basement area is in need of new walls, a handrail for the steps, and a custom door. The screen porch requires wheelchair accessibility, to include a ramp with a handrail, along with removing panels to cut in new door openings, and reframing. This effort literally improves Arc clients’ choice and control over where they live and spend their time! We can use 12 volunteers each day. The workday will be 8:30 – 4pm. Lunch will be provided. Cost per volunteer is $10. For more details, please see the sign-up links.
Fall Local Project – Sykesville: Sign-up for workdays
We continue to repair the Pena house in Western Howard County. Now that the framing phase is complete, we’re ready to install insulation and hang sheetrock. The work days will begin at 8:30am and continue until 4pm. We ask each volunteer to contribute $10.00 to help cover the cost of the materials. DreamBuilders will cover any amount over the total donations. We’ll provide lunch for our volunteers. For more details, please see the sign-up links.
