Rebuilding Together to kick off project Thursday
Rebuilding Together will kick off a project to improve 20 East Village homes tomorrow, with financial and volunteer support from Wells Fargo Home Mortgage and AARP Iowa. The homes are in the neighborhood surrounding Greater Des Moines’ Habitat for Humanity’s 20/10 build, a project to turn a field into 10 Habitat homes in 20 days. Wells Fargo has committed $30,000 and about 200 volunteers who will complete a variety of indoor and outdoor home improvements, along with 40 volunteers from AARP Iowa, who will focus on weatherproofing homes. Habitat for Humanity and Lutheran Church of Hope also will lend a hand by doing yard work in the area.
