EBCRRA is an umbrella organization with close communication with other local service agencies. The placements are well-coordinated and very well staffed at each build site. Tools are plentiful, safety is paramount. Unskilled volunteers are taught new skills and safety precautions. The staff members are experts and very personable. Great hosts to large groups or individuals.
