About Home Maintenance Projects

Many of the families served by the Family Care Network have many home maintenance needs that can be met by community groups and volunteers. Volunteer groups from local churches, organizations (such as Home Depot and Best Buy) and community service groups have been instrumental in helping these families. Past home maintenance projects include, but are not limited to: assembling a 7’ by 10’ storage shed, replacing sink faucets and door handles, painting a child’s room, minor landscaping and helping a family move. Typically, these projects occur on weekends in San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara counties and last anywhere from 3-6 hours (follow-up days may be necessary).

All potential home maintenance projects are proposed to the Volunteer Coordinator, who then assesses the project and matches the appropriate volunteer group.
