Building Materials / Supplies * (ANY/ALL Types) needed by St. Clare Recovery (Elementary School)

notes: Even though many have finally received insurance or grant monies to help rebuild, quite often the dollars just do not stretch far enough. Not only can the residents not afford to hire the work done (which is where you, as Volunteers, make the difference), but often there is not enough money to purchase materials to finish the home. And, of course, those who did not receive insurance or grant money, for whatever reason, need plenty of help. While there have been some small grants from sources such as Salvation Army and Red Cross, these grants are becoming harder and harder to get. Bogged down in paperwork, it is a lengthy process and again, many do not qualify. Meanwhile a house sits half finished….the hope that was restored when Volunteers arrived to start work on a home is quickly dashed while the family sits in the FEMA trailer or MEMA cottage looking at a half finished dream. -> Even though many have finally received insurance or grant monies to help rebuild, quite often the dollars just do not stretch far enough.

Many of you work at businesses who would be glad to donate building materials – perhaps a load of Sheet Rock, or a box of plumbing or electrical materials, plywood, roofing materials, 2x4s, caulk, sheet rock screws, nails, insulation, paint…the list goes on and on, but there may be something, large or small amounts, that your company would be happy to donate. St. Clare Recovery is a 501(c) 3, not-for-profit organization, which makes the donation a tax deduction for the donor. If you think that your company might be able to help us, please give call so that arrangements can be made to receive the materials. We do have access to storage for both large and small amounts.
