Reach Workcamps organizes and coordinates the completion of basic home repair projects for elderly, disabled, and low-income families. We refer to each homeowner as our "neighbor." The construction aim of the workcamp is to provide neighbors with a warmer, dryer and safer home. The workcamp also helps to restore lost pride and hope in the neighbors. In many cases, the repair work helps to reduce utility costs. It is a priority of each Reach Workcamp to establish positive relationships between the neighbors and workcampers. Our workcampers are encouraged to spend time talking with and listening to the neighbors they are serving. The relationships that are established enable the workcamp to achieve one of its goals: meeting the emotional and spiritual needs of the neighbors.

Projects

The projects will include basic weatherization, painting, repair and construction of porches, steps, wheelchair ramps and outhouses, as well as many other unique projects that may be assigned. All repairs are made at no cost to the homeowners.

Experienced maintenance and home repair volunteers make daily on-site visits to ensure quality workmanship and to assist workcampers with the skills necessary to complete their projects.
