Goals

With increasing need to accommodate veterans, those with disabilities and the elderly who are aging in place, there is a significant demand for Outreach programs such as Critical Home Repair (CHR) and A Brush With Kindness (ABWK). With this increased demand, further organizational support is required to support Operation Playhouse which funds the affiliate’s mission and coordination of Thrivent Build Repair and Home Depot Repair Corps grants. Also, more event planning, support and site leadership is required. Another goal of this position is to increase our veteran outreach in our service area. We anticipate completing 8-10 CHR’s, 40 playhouses and 3 ABWK’s each year starting in FY17.

• Facilitate positive experiences for volunteers and partner families working on site.

• Help with materials management on site and at the affiliate warehouse and storage trailers. Pick up and organize materials needed for projects.
