Decatur, GA Senior citizens offered help in Martin Luther King Project

Decatur, GA senior citizens who own their own homes but who need help in getting things done around the house are invited to apply for the 2008 Martin Luther King Jr. Service Project.

 

Now entering its sixth year, the program offered by the Decatur Preservation Alliance puts a team of volunteers and professional contractors to work on houses, for fix-ups ranging from roof leak repairs to appliance installation.

To qualify, a senior must be at least 65 and own and live in his or her own home within the Decatur city limits.

Income limits vary. The group will conduct interviews and consider applicants on a case-by-case basis. If applicants are chosen, improvements will be made over the 2008 Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend. The application deadline is June 30.
