Todd Henry – 2024 Workcamp for Life Project & Sponsorship

A few buses full of High School students from out of state to Lincoln next summer to complete home improvements to Senior and disabled residents in Lincoln.  During the last Workcamp in Lincoln, the group completed 7 wheelchair ramps, painted 29 homes and worked on 24 other homes repairing porches and drywall all in one week.  350 students will be involved next year. All supplies/materials will be purchased locally.  The students will stay at the High school on cots in classrooms. 

Mr. Henry is looking for individuals with trade experience.  The city donated $3500 in 2021, this year the organization is asking for $5000 because they have more students and will complete 1/3 more homes.
