Maintenance
Due
to the wear and tear of the properties being used by multiple families every year,
they undergo year round maintenance. HOGARES is always seeking donations of tools
and/or supplies in order to keep our properties safe and livable for the clients.
Also, we are currently seeking a donated maintenance vehicle. Please contact us
to donate a pick-up truck or other vehicle appropriate for the maintenance department. Volunteer
Opportunities
HOGARES invites volunteers to come into our properties
twice a year for service days. Service days provide the community with the opportunity
to prepare a property for new participants moving into our program. Please contact
us if you would like to register for a service day. |
