Faith Works Coalition (FWC)
Supported by local churches, FWC was created to eliminate poor living conditions in Virginia Beach, Chesapeake and other communities by repairing homes for elderly, disabled, and disadvantaged families. As of last November, FWC had completed repairs to 1,000 homes. I joined FWC in March as a volunteer and have assisted in half a dozen repair projects. Projects typically are planned for completion in one day and involve 2-12 volunteers. We assist folks who do not have the means to correct or repair problems which range from unsafe living conditions to issues with access for disabled persons. The level of need is a key requirement for approval and range from those who are one event away from becoming homeless, to single parents with children, and elderly or disabled folks unable to perform or fund the repairs. The pictures shown are before and after a repair made to a kitchen floor in the home of a single elderly woman living in a local trailer park. Flooding, leaking pipes and age resulted in caved in flooring, making it unsafe to use the sink, stove and refrigerator and allowing the intrusions of rodents and pests into her living space. The resulting repair made a huge difference in this woman’s life. FWC is an all-volunteer, registered 501(c)(3) organization and 97% of all donations are applied directly to repair work. Donations of $500 or more qualify for a Virginia state income tax credit of 65%. I currently serve on the Construction Project Committee and Board of Directors as well as volunteer for repair work. We are always need more volunteers. Knowledge of basic tool use is helpful but not required. If you have questions or would like to volunteer or make a donation, please contact me or visit the FWC website at www.faithworks coalition.org. ~Dan Ries: dries@cox.net 277-1907

Many thanks to Monika Jara-Lopez for arranging for 90 of us
65+ to receive the Moderna vaccine! We appreciate your thinking of us, putting in the work to get us registered and doing the work you do every day. I don't make it a habit to speak for others but I think in this case, most all of my friends would shout, "AMEN!" Thanks again, Monika! ~Sharon Payne
