  2. To help underprivileged families make the steps they need in order to increase their standard of living and become functional members of society Project mission statement

  3. We were asked to clean, make space, and build a wall in order to divide a room into two separate parts. In total, we worked on the attic and the basement of the Family Promise building in downtown Williamsport What we did to help

  4. On our first visit, we focused on cleaning up the attic and the basement. Originally it was cluttered, but we invested about 5 hours in and it looked a lot better. We managed to clean up the attic entirely, and completely rearranged the basement which is their supply area. Our next step was to set up the walls around the basement to make it more secure. First visit

  5. First visit - before pictures

  6. First visit – after pictures

  7. Our purpose on our second visit was to bring up a secure wall, and also to cover a crawlspace that they were having problems with. After a whopping 8 hours, we accomplished what we needed to. Second visit

  8. Pictures without the wall

  9. Making the wall

  10. To actually make the wall, we set up a wooden foundation by placing a top and bottom beam, and putting columns in between. Once the foundation was made, we had to drywall it, and finally tape and glue all of the creases together. It was the same process on a smaller scale for the small crawlspace. How we did it

  11. Unfortunately we were unable to take closing pictures of the wall once it was completed due to technical difficulties. (batteries died) The wall turned out great, and we were all happy to complete the project for the group. Completion of the wall

  12. We helped out the Family Promise group a lot by putting in our hours to help renovate the house. But apart from that, we all had a great time hanging out and doing this project. During the time, we met a lot of great people and made new friends. We are very thankful for the opportunity to help, and we hope for the best for those families in need. What we’ve accomplished

  13. Family Promise has over 125,000 volunteers, but they are always looking for more. To help, go to www.nihn.org and volunteer You can make a huge difference for families that really need it, just like we did for our project.
