July 13 & Aug. 10| Help FPGROC Prepare Apartments!
Family Promise of Greater Rochester (FPGROC) is calling for volunteers to help renovate eight apartments in two buildings acquired from City Roots Community Land Trust. FPGROC plans to rent these at below-market rates as transitional housing for families so that families can save money and prepare for permanent housing with FPGROC's help. A group of us plans to volunteer for a few hours to prepare the apartments, starting at 1pm on Saturday, July 13, and on Saturday, August 10. If interested in joining us, please contact Chris DeGolyer at housingforall@uuroc.org.
