• See flood photos!
• In collaboration with the Geneseo Ministerial Association, Rebuilding Together Geneseo/Cambridge is leading the rehabilitation project at the Maple City Mobile Home Park following May's devestating flash flood.

Thanks to the hard work of 30+ volunteers on Saturday, May 29, de-construction was completed on several homes, including tearing out soggy drywall and insulation, removing warped flooring and continuing to clean and bleach other items in the homes. Supplies are quickly being purchased and another work day is scheduled for Saturday, June 5. People with drywall experience are needed along with other volunteers to assist, cut and also cut and install wall insulation and to install insulation under the home.

To help with our lunch count, all volunteers should pre-register by calling 944-6442 until Thursday at noon. After that time, volunteers may pre-register by calling 4667.
