Description

Help City of Promise with minor exterior repairs at their property. Volunteers will assess and repair sections of the backyard fence, including replacing a small number of fence pickets as needed, and/or rebuilding the lattice underneath the deck.

The fence is generally in good condition, so this project is best suited for volunteers who are comfortable with basic carpentry and hands-on repair work. The project may involve measuring, cutting, securing wood, and making minor repairs.
