Avalon Center is looking for a team to help us paint 2 of our residential units on shelter property.
Avalon Center houses around 200 individuals annually who have the option of staying in our communal shelter, one of our six 2-bedroom apartments on property, or in one of our units in the community. We are in need of a team of folks to help us repaint two of those 2-bedrooms units on our shelter property in Williamsburg. These units are slightly smaller than your average apartment, are one-story, and are ground level. Avalon is willing to provide paint and materials if necessary. This work could be accomplished by a team of 10 or more.
Our shelter is located at a secure location in Williamsburg. Once a group chooses Avalon for their Day of Caring agency, our volunteer coordinator will contact the group for further information and processing.
