Despite the rain on Saturday, our volunteers from Costar Group, Mount Vernon Baptist Church, and the U.S. Warrant Officer Association, Crater Chapter, were not deterred. They came together to repair the homes of neighbors Ms. Angie and Ms. Cynthia, a mother-and-daughter duo. They also provided much-needed improvements to the historic Pocahontas Chapel on Pocahontas Island, one of America's oldest Black communities.
The repairs included safety modifications, painting, new flooring, and power washing of all three properties. We extend our gratitude to the Richmond Community Toolbank for providing the bench and picnic table kits for the chapel and the necessary tools for our volunteers. It was a family affair, and the community is grateful for the volunteers' hard work and dedication.
