Neighbors Strengthening Wright Communities

The Wright County Labor Council with Faith in Action of Wright County offer their first annual community service event. Project History: Neighbors Strengthening Wright Communities began as a partnership project between the Wright County Labor Council and Faith in Action of Wright County to help elderly and disabled individuals get their homes ready for winter. Since then, the project has grown to include other organizations and municipalities joining the community effort by organizing their own service events on October 3! Contact Betsy Hunter at betsy@workingpartnerships.org, or Allison Moser, Faith in Action servantfia@earthlink.net to sign up to volunteer!
