Youth help Habitat in clean-up event
A youth group from St.
Edward's Catholic Church
in Shelton gave a helping
hand to Habitat for Hu-
manity of Mason County
and Habitat homeowners
in Spencer Glen by helping
with clean up and garden-
ing on March 24.
The 13 youth group
members, along with
other Habitat volunteers,
Habitat homeowners and
Spencer Glen neighbors
worked on the community
project to weed, pick up
and remove trash, spread
bark mulch provided by
PUD 3, pull scotch broom
with pullers provided by
WSU extension office and
built a set of stairs for one
homeowner with supplies
donated by Mitchell Lum-
ber.
"We and the homeown-
ers are very grateful for
their help" said Michele
Palomino, volunteer co-
ordinator for Habitat for
Humanity. "Habitat is
eager to provide student
volunteers the opportu-
nity to learn about our
mission while giving back.
These students are our fu-
ture volunteers and com-
munity leaders who are
learning the importance of
improving housing, which
improves their commu-
nity."
This project was done in
conjunction with Habitat's
A Brush with Kindness
program -- a home repair
and preservation program
for low-income homeown-
ers.
Habitat hopes to add
more neighborhood clean-
ups throughout Mason
County with the help of
Habitat homeowners and
volunteers.
"Seeing how the ho-
meowners beamed with
pride at their spruced up
yards and seeing neigh-
bors working alongside
each other, made i~he day
worthwhile," said Bret
Barrish, family support
chair for Habitat for Hu-
manity. "It had a roll-
ing effect throughout the
area.
As the day progressed
we had more homeown-
ers start working in their
yard or offer to help with a
neighbor's yard."
