Calling all local do-gooders and potential do-gooders! Your city still needs you. Why not take time and lend a hand to one of the many charitable organizations around town. Here's a small list of great local non-profits to volunteer for or support.
Help Construct and Preserve Homes
Musicians’ Village
Come out to the Musicians’ Village and pick up a hammer. It’s an awesome way to learn new skills and meet generous people from all over the world. As a local, I find a day at the Musicians’ Village a great way to lift my spirits when I fear the city’s rebuilding process is at a standstill. Seeing so many colorful houses go up so quickly right before my eyes is inspirational to say the least.
