A leaky faucet. A broken step. A slippery bathtub surface, with no railing to grab. For some of us, these are mere inconveniences. Yet for the disabled, elderly and low-income infirm in our community, these "inconveniences" can create health and safety hazards that may make it harder for them to stay in their homes and retain their cherished independence. Project Mend-A-House finds solutions:Project Mend-A-House, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, has been serving the low-income residents of Prince William County, City of Manassas, and Manassas Park since 1984. We solicit the skills of volunteer carpenters, plumbers, electricians, painters, gardeners, and others, matching them with people in need of minor home repairs and safety modifications. Our dedicated volunteers give their time to equip disabled residents' homes with safety features like hand rails, shower seats, transfer benches, and smoke detectors; to tame the overgrowth in elderly residents' yards when they are unable to tackle it themselves; and to build wheelchair ramps that will permit otherwise housebound adults and children to improve their quality of life. Project Mend-A-House. We're neighbors working with neighbors. And when we all work together, everyone in the community benefits. |
