Insulation install!

by Elizabeth DuShaw | June 10, 2025 4:57 PM

While half the team was doing demo work, the rest of us were helping with another project. We finished clearing out old, wet insulation and started installing new insulation in the floor of a double wide trailer that was affected by Hurricane Helene.

Warm home, warm hearts

by Elizabeth DuShaw | June 10, 2025 4:59 PM

What a blessing it is to get to serve others. We learned how to install insulation in the floor of a home. By making the home warm, our hearts were made warm too (and our bodies of course).

Demo time!

Today we went and served by clearing out a room in Mr. Juniors home that was damaged by the Hurricane. He received very little help and had given up hope that he was going to get help. We were able to bring help and hope to him as we served.
