CASA TEMP$ Work Day

Here’s an opportunity to help people in our community! UUCH will be participating again this year in the annual effort to winterize homes of local seniors.

The Care Assurance System for the Aging (CASA) Taking Energy Measures Personally equals Savings (TEMP$) program is an annual one-day event in which teams of CASA volunteers weatherize the homes of CASA clients by putting plastic on windows, insulating pipes, caulking breaches, installing smoke detectors, replacing storm doors, and performing other small repairs. Similar to the past few years, we will be working on two homes of low-income seniors in neighborhoods near our church. These energy efficiency tasks will help these low-income senior citizens spend less on heating over the winter. This activity requires only a few hours of your time, but several people are needed to complete the two homes that UUCH has committed to complete this year. Home repair skills are not required, just the desire to help out. Materials are provided by CASA and UUCH will have at least one experienced person at each home to help guide the activity. 

On Saturday, November 7th, we will gather at the church at 9:00 a.m., carpool to the homes, and we should be finished by 1:00 p.m. or 2:00 p.m. Please contact Brad Korb via email or phone him if you are interested in helping out or would like more information.
