Shingles for Donated for Construction Projects

Jimmy Rutland — Fri, 05 Apr 2013 20:26:57 +0000

Thanks to Freddie Jones of Mercer Transportation, Gypsum Express, and Corey Rahn of Rahn Services for helping getting the shingles donated by Certain Teed in Peachtree City delivered to us and unloaded at our warehouse in Rincon. These will be used in our construction ministry for both new homes and critical home repairs.

Now that we have the top of the houses handled, we need to get the rest of the materials to put under the shingles. We have two families waiting for the construction of their homes to begin.
