Hidden Pines Ranch Camp – Helped with repairs to the home of a Saint Paul homeowner
Honeywell Retired Volunteer Program – Built a ramp to help a Coon Rapids homeowner live more safely and independently in her home
Ethan and Elliot Helmer, and our summer intern, Jordan Isaac  – Volunteered to help us wrap up two projects
We were excited to host a team of riders from Bike and Build on July 23rd! Bike and Build has generously supported our work with grants in the past, but this is the first time we’ve hosted them as volunteers. Riders worked on a ramp and other home repair projects on the East Side of Saint Paul. Thank you to Bike and Build for partnering with us to preserve affordable homeownership!
Catholic Heart Workcamp – We were thrilled to host two teams from Catholic Heart Workcamp this month. One team removed two ramps, repaired a deck, finished handrails on a ramp and installed drywall in a home. Another team installed new fencing on Minnehaha Ave in Saint Paul. Thank you Catholic Heart!
Honeywell Retired Volunteer Program Ramp Team – Our incredible ramp team from the Honeywell Retired Volunteer Program (HRVP) has helped another low-income homeowner keep their freedom and independence. HRVP volunteers built a ramp for a North Saint Paul homeowner this month. We are so thankful for their hard work and dedication!
Thanks to the volunteers from MidCountry Bank for helping Joan and Robert in Crystal!
Joan and Robert have lived in their home for more than 40 years. After suffering a stroke, Robert requires 24-hour care which, combined with his medical bills, has prevented the couple from having the funds needed to make the necessary repairs to their garage. The City of Crystal cited Joan and Robert for multiple repairs to their garage that had to be completed by July 31st.
On May 25th, volunteers from MidCountry Bank descended on the garage to make the repairs that Joan and Robert were unable to make on their own, including re-shingling the roof, replacing the window and repainting and repairing damaged siding.
We are extremely grateful for the hard work and support of MidCountry Bank, and we are proud of this long-standing partnership, which as continued for more than 10 years!
