From our Community Services Supervisor in Monituea County:

Emily Altheuser, Central Missouri Community Action's Community Services Supervisor in Moniteau County, passed along a volunteer opportunity that is very close to her heart that I wanted to share with the community:

Build Brigade in Columbia, MO for SSG Robert Canine!


April 9, 10 & 11

5500 Saddleridge Drive Columbia, MO!


What is a Build Brigade?
We will be in Columbia, MO for a 3 day Homes for Our Troops event where hundreds of professional volunteers will erect a home starting with the bare foundation on the first day. By the end of the last day, we have interior walls framed, windows installed, doors hung, roof shingled and siding installed!
After the Build Brigade the house is a weather tight shell. We will then start the interior work and move towards completing the special home for the SSG Canine & His Family!

Non-Construction, Community Volunteer Opportunities!
Non- construction related volunteers are just as important as our professional builders! You make this event a success and we are sending out this call to action to join us by becoming a Key Volunteer or assisting in another way.
Please contact me if you will help with any item on the list!
Doreen Lewis, Community Outreach Coordinator, dlewis@homesforourtroops.org - or by phone 508-823-3300
