Thanks to all our walkers, supporters, and sponsors for another successful WALK!
See you next year ~
Each Spring, a strong and willing group of Berkshire School students generously gives nearly a day of hard labor, greening up one of Construct’s properties.
This year in April, they came to 41 Mahaiwe Street in Great Barrington where they were scheduled to finish painting our new addition, Priscilla’s Room, a fun project for teens.
It was, however, too cold to paint outdoors so Plan B was put in place: a major clean up of a dark and disorganized cellar as well as some yard work.
No task was too dirty or tedious for these energetic young people!
Meanwhile, back on campus, a small crew was cooking a full meal for both the men’s and the women’s house: baked ziti, tossed green salad, fresh bread and an array of confetti cupcakes with sprinkles and deep dark chocolate brownies. This brought many smiles to the faces of our homeless men and women in residence.
Our sincere thanks to both crews for their hard work and generous spirits.
Since December, a group of dedicated and crafty volunteers has gathered to create hand-made chocolate dipped pretzels to sell at local hot-spots. So far, the group has raised more than $1800 for Construct! Our sincere thanks to this “sweet” group of volunteers. Stop by and show your support the next time you see our pretzel stand near you!
