Reach Out Morongo Basin, the local people-helping-people organization, has helped over 100 senior homeowners with yard work and other home repairs. Reporter Dan Stork says that Reach Out is looking for more people to help…
Reach Out Morongo Basin is seeking senior and disabled persons needing home repairs or yard work for upcoming service projects. Labor for these projects comes by way of volunteers from 1st Tank Battalion and naval chiefs from the Robert E. Bush Naval Hospital aboard the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center. The next round of service projects is scheduled for August and September. The naval chiefs are new to this endeavor, and the 1st Tank Battalion will be participating for the fourth time. Organizers are seeking 20 homes in the Morongo Basin. Requests for home repairs such as painting, light carpentry and other repairs not requiring permits, as well as yard work projects, are being sought. Homes must be the primary residence and owned by the senior or disabled person requesting the assistance. All requests will require inspection to evaluate the scope of work required. For more information or to sign up for this program, please call Robin Schlosser at Reach Out Morongo Basin 760-361-1410.
