You can read about this year’s camp here. You can also read the impact that Work Camp 2010 had on one of this year’s homeowners in her letter to the editor.

Another of this year’s homeowners was so inspired by and thankful for Work Camp 2010 that she created a poem to share. Thanks Cindy!

THERE ONCE WAS A HOUSE WHOSE PAINT WAS PEELING
IT NEEDED MORE THAN A TOUCH UP WE HAD A FEELING
WE KNEW FOR SURE IT NEEDED PAINTED
BUT JUST THINKING ABOUT IT
WE NEARLY FAINTED
ONE DAY WHILE WE WERE IN THE YARD MILLING ABOUT
A TRUCK PULLED UP AND TWO MEN GOT OUT
OH GREAT I’M ABOUT TO BE ROBBED
THE THOUGHT CROSSED MY MIND  BUT THEY LOOKED PRETTY FRIENDLY AND SEEMED REALLY KIND
MID OHIO VALLEY WORK CAMP WILL PAINT YOUR HOUSE THEY SAID AND THEY’LL DO IT FOR FREE
THAT SOUNDED LIKE A FAIR PRICE TO ME
ON JUNE 21ST THEY ALL GOT BUSY SCRAPING AND SPRAYING
PLEASE LET IT BE OVER SOON THEY MUST HAVE BEEN SAYING
THEY ALL WORKED HARD EACH AND EVERY DAY AND DIDN’T COMPLAIN WELL NOT WITHIN EARSHOT ANYWAY
ALL JOKING ASIDE WE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU’VE DONE
YOU ALL DID A GREAT JOB AND WE HOPE YOU HAD FUN
AND NOW OUR HOUSE LOOKS AS GOOD AS NEW
WE’RE THE ENVY OF THE BLOCK AND IT’S ALL THANKS TO YOU!

According to commission President Rick Modesitt:

“I have attended a couple of these events and seen firsthand these projects are incredible. It not only helps the property owners, it also helps clear up blighted properties. Some of these families would never be able to get this work done otherwise. It’s well-worth our supporting. Give us a few days to talk it over, and we’ll see what we can do”
