Event Description:

Rippling Hope does minor home repairs and maintenance with low-fixed income individuals mostly in Northwest Detroit. All of the work done is volunteer friendly and is led by trained members of the Rippling Hope staff. Much of the work being done involves: weatherization, interior and exterior painting, toilet replacement, installation or new door locks and security doors, lot cleanups and house board ups. This work is revitalizing and strengthening neighborhoods. Bringing neighborhoods together and making them safer through Block Clubs & Associations. Making homeowners feel safe, secure, and filled with hope and joy because volunteers come to work on their homes.

What we'll be doing

One Brick will be spending the morning working on the chores needed to be completed for those in need! The project can vary and may consist of painting, doing yard work, and/or repairing items. You are welcome to bring your gloves and tool belts if you have them. Rippling Hope’s house leader will provide additional instructions and guidance at the site.

Rippling Hope:

The ministry of Rippling Hope plans, leads, sponsors, and helps to resource Mission Trip Projects in a variety of settings around the country. These projects are available for individuals, congregations and other organizations (colleges, businesses, fraternities, sororities, and many more organizations).They connect and assist those who have the resources to partner with those who need help and be instruments of hope for those who despair due to the circumstances of their lives--to those that are effected by injustice, poverty and disaster. For the many who despair because they feel that there is nothing they can do to make a difference in the world, Rippling Hope provides opportunities to learn that there is indeed something positive they can do, and our projects help them experience the joy and hope that comes from service.
