Repair Affair seeks referrals


Repair Affair of Harrison County is seeking referrals for its 23rd annual event, set for Saturday, Sept. 26.
The deadline to submit referrals for this yearâs Repair Affair is May 29.
Referrals should be made to Harrison County Community Services in Corydon or by calling 812-738-8143.
Repair Affairâs site selection committee will inspect the referrals to determine which ones will be included in this yearâs event. Priority will be given to homes that need work to make them safer or more accessible for the elderly and low-income residents of the county.
The goal of Repair Affair is to allow Harrison County residents to continue to live independently in their homes.
On event day, workers will be divided into teams and sent to work at various sites throughout the county. In general, no specific skills are required, although some sites will have specialized needs, such as roofers.
Persons interested in serving as team leaders or volunteers and organizations that wish to help should call Maggie Abart-Briles at 812-952-3165 or send an email to [email protected]
