Thanks guys. I do want it to be a project of our own, much as I love Habitat for Humanity, et. al.
The people who will be volunteering with me are people who receive supportive services from the agency, and they have very few real skills. We hope to change that in the course of this project.
So far, all I'm coming up with are town-beautification projects, which is good, but I like variety. I imagine we'll also be lending a hand during community-wide events, collecting tickets and so forth during town fair, etc.
Thanks for your input. I appreciate it!
