Our first Extreme Community Makeover was launched in September when eleven area volunteer teams were matched with ten United Way partner agencies.  The agencies submitted a "wish list" of areas in their agencies that needed a makeover.  Extra funds to remodel an office or even funds to make needed repairs are often not available.  The volunteer teams are working to remedy that situation.  Completion date for the project is October 24th and on October 30th, awards will be presented to the Volunteer Teams
