| Pictures from Join Hand Day |
| Our last service project involved removing paint from the house of a family whose child tested with high lead levels. It was discovered that the high lead levels were due to peeling lead paint. The house was scraped and wiped down, then primed and painted. This project was a joint effort with other AmeriCorps team in Grand Rapids, and was sponsored by our team and the ClearCorps team at Home Repair Services. |
