In mid-February, Coalville was struck with a number of uncharacteristically large rain storms that caused flood damage to many of the houses in the area. These storms flooded streams and impeded the flow of many essential culverts that help maintain much of the normal overflow of water. In fitting with their commitment to national service, the AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps team working alongside Habitat for Humanity took time to prepare sandbags to prevent flood waters from causing damage within the community.
New manager. New hours. New entrance. Celebrating our one year anniversary on Earth Day, April 22nd!
