Spring/summer/fall of 2013 - ConstructionI - We will commence construction on a new home on Jennifer Lane in Manchester in early May. In addition, we will be undertaking some minor repairs in or near to Bennington.
Directions to Jennifer Lane - From the north or south - take Route 7 to the Manchester exit - go east onto Route 11/30. Go 1/2 mile - take a right after Atlantic Painting on Jennifer Lane. Go straight to the back of the circle - park along side the road but do not block a driveway.
Individuals can self-schedule - come whenever and as often as they want.
Groups of four or more people need to be scheduled in advance. Please contact us by email or by phone (802) 367-1000. The Group Schedule is listed on the box on the left side of this page.
Information for Volunteers Volunteers should plan to arrive no earlier than 8:30 a.m. We usually work to 3:00 p.m. on Wednesdays and Saturdays. People are welcome to work as long or as little as their time allows.
It is good to bring work gloves. A mid-morning snack will be provided. If you plan to work after lunch, it is best to bring yourself something to eat.

Unskilled Help with Construction
We welcome volunteers with little or no experience. There is almost always work that can be done by people who do not have much experience.
Skilled Help with Construction
We always need help from volunteers who are experienced with any aspect of construction. In particular, it is very helpful when those people with special skills are willing to assist others who have little or no experience.
A lot of work continues needs to be done off site. This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. if you want to help with this work on or off site.
