After serving at Good Works, we saw the impact we made on the community and the neighbors. All thirteen of us were able to do a little extra for someone while in Ohio as well as change our own perspective on serving and leadership. Through long work days, cooking and cleaning for 20+ people, no signal in the house (oh no!), and having to entertain ourselves with board games, jokes and competitions, we became a family.
Here is what we were able to accomplish:
· Ella Holly’s bathroom floor was renovated.
· Dave Starlin’s floor and refrigerator were cleaned out. We also gave some love to his dogs!
· Sue Lowry’s back patio was fixed, and her house was cleaned up instead.
· Dale Dalrymple’s trails were repaired and fallen trees were cut down away from the trails.
· Good Works’ living room was worked on, trails cleared up, and ditch was dug to avoid further flooding.
· Friday Night Life was an event where the community members come to have dinner together. We cooked enough food for 150 people and interacted with community members by listening to their amazing stories.
