Rebuilding Together Hits Milestone


CHESTERTOWN - For the 100th time, a group of local volunteers teamed up, donned tool belts and went to work making a difference for someone in need.
With the construction last week of a new wheelchair ramp at Doris Brown's Langford Road home, Rebuilding Together Kent County, MD celebrated the completion of its 100th project in less than a decade. A quarter of those were done just in the past year.

“We've been in Kent County since 2004. We do necessary home repairs for low-income homeowners,” said Lindsey Buckless – the organization's director of marketing, fundraising and volunteers – from the construction site Aug. 16.

We could do that same thing here. Our code and compliance writes up older people. They dont have the money to repair things. A volunteer group cold take care of these items.
We could hold a fundraiser to purchase the materials. Anyone up for this?
It could be done without government help.
