Upcoming Events
  • Project Home Returns in September -- Volunteers Needed
    In case you haven’t heard why we need lots of Project Home volunteers, read about it on our website. We need volunteers for evenings and overnight. To be honest the overnights are the easiest. Lights out is at 9pm Sunday thru Thursday and 10pm on the weekends. You don’t have to stay up all night, almost always you can be in bed by 30 minutes after lights out. Contact Katharine Tondra (612-331-4293) or Betty Gumbrell (651-644-5128) for more information or to sign up to volunteer.
