 We're looking for a few good event planners
The Housing Resources Board tackles the tough issues of housing in an affluent community. These issues are serious and life sustaining. There's time for hard work, and time to celebrate. This fall HRB will begin celebration of our 20th anniversary and we're looking for volunteers to help us throw a party! If you're interested in helping with event coordination contact Wendy Johnson to join the party! |

 Helpline Helps Out HRB on Day of Caring
With a small mountain of mulch to move at Island Home, HRB staff members were greeted spontaneously by several volunteers from Helpline House in their efforts to spruce up the property.
"It's just amazing how people see a need and will jump right in" explains HRB maintenance manager, Jeanette Hill. "A neighbor saw me moving mulch and just asked for a shovel!"
Folks at Helpline House saw the need for additional help and responded immediately with several more volunteers. "They were so responsive so quickly -- it's great to be part of a helping community" adds Hill.
