Rebuilding Together is
an all volunteer group
recently launched in Fort
Valley. Its purpose is to
rehabilitate homes for
elderly or disabled neigh¬
bors who own their homes
but are unable to do the
needed repairs themselves.
Four words describe our
objective for deciding on
the repairs needed. Homes
need to be WARM, DRY,
SAFE, SANITARY.
The group has set a goal
of repairing five houses in
Fort Valley for the coming
year, 2005. All work is
done at no cost to the
County residents to see change
