Rebuilding Hope Looking For Helping Hands With Backlog of Requests

-Information courtesy Rebuilding Hope, Inc. 

Churches, do you have groups who can lend a hand and help Rebuilding Hope build wheelchair ramps? Your participation would help reduce a backlog of more than 30 requests – and help us all reach our communities for Christ.

Here are answers to some questions you might have:

What preparations are made before work begins?

Before work begins, an RHI volunteer will visit the job site and assess the owner’s physical and spiritual needs. The volunteer will take measurements and draw a plan. Job sites are different and custom plans are necessary.

What about materials and tools?

RHI will gather the materials and deliver them to the job site and provide tools, as needed.

Are building permits required?

RHI will obtain the required permits.

Who will supervise and be responsible for the work?

An experienced RHI crew leader.

How long does building a ramp take?

Depending on the ramp (e.g., straight ramp or ramp with a landing) and the number of crew members, it’s a day to a day-and-a-half job.

Where are job sites located?

In all the communities we serve, but every effort will be made to assign work in the vicinity of your church.

Can work be scheduled on Saturdays?

Yes.

For more information, please call the RHI office at (252) https://rebuildinghope.radiantwebtools.com/438-5132.

If you can help, we’ll put you in touch with Bill Overby of Enterprise Baptist Church, our team leader in Warren County. Or Steve Timberlake of Oxford Baptist Church, our team leader in Granville County. Or, in Vance County, Steve Lyles of Raleigh Road Baptist Church, Vann Wester of New Sandy Creek Baptist Church, or Cliff McClanahan of Central Baptist Church.
