All of us in HomeFront hope our volunteers and supporters have plans in the works to unwind and re-charge over the summer if you haven’t already. Whether it’s fishing, trading in a paint brush for a barbeque basting brush or putting aside that storm door installation manual in favor of a good summer read—you have earned it! After all, many families are now able to breathe a sigh of relief after the major repairs you helped us to make on their homes.

It’s National Volunteer Appreciation Week!
