On Sunday, June 6th, about 50 Yachad volunteers and homeowners came together to celebrate the wonderful success of the Sukkot in Spring season at Nationals Stadium. Yachad invited everyone to come together to bask in the sun and in the success of repairing nearly 20 homes in the Washington, DC area this spring. Although the Nats didn’t win, everyone had a spectacular time and were glad to come together to see the power a group of people can have when they want to make a difference.
Thanks to all the volunteers from Yachad and the Rising Sun Baptist Church who came out on such a hot day this Memorial Day to do such hard work. The volunteers worked through our We the People Federal Holiday volunteer program to prepare the church’s community house for a renovation. Working closely with Yachad through our Faith-to-Faith program, the church plans on repairing the home next to the church as a community space for bible studies, community meetings and hopefully a health and education center for the wider community.
