Glass Farm neighbors and volunteers gathered to remove lead paint from the Wilder Street home of Gail McKeel Friday, March 9.
Glass Farm residents age 18 and older are invited to participate monthly as Neighbor Labor volunteers. To register as a Neighbor Labor volunteer or to learn more about volunteer opportunities at Habitat for Humanity, call Katrina Payne at 756-0507 or email her at kpayne@habichatt.org.
