In a perfect world, trash would always make its way to a proper trashcan. But we know that sometimes, the bits of packaging and coffee cups, wrappers and plastic bags, unmentionables and what have you don't make it there. And, for reasons no one can explain, the crosswinds of Concord always seem to take these stray bits and pieces and blow them so they all converge in the woods surrounding two of CATCH's most popular affordable workforce housing developments -- CATCH Three Bedroom Townhouses (Concord) and Willow Crossing (Penacook). The trash takes some very pretty woods and grassy green areas and makes them look significantly less attractive. Nothing is less inspiring that someone else's trash in your natural spaces! Pride in place and space inspires others to have pride in their places and spaces, and we want to kick off this summer season with a fresh "trashless" start at both of these locations. I mean, what's better than you, Mother Nature, friends, a trash bag, and the satisfaction of seeing the before and after of your good work in the space of one day! Can you help us give this CATCH Three Bedroom Townhouses property in Concord a fresh start?

If a person's eyes are the windows to their soul, then doors must be the windows to the home, right? In CATCH Neighborhood Housing's affordable workforce housing at Willow Crossing in Penacook, we are responsible for these doors to our residents' homes and we could use a little help making sure they look as bright and fresh as possible! Willow Crossing includes four buildings and each building has 4-5 doors. The paint on the exterior doors and door frames of the apartments in this development has started to flake and needs some TLC to bring those "windows to the soul" back to "like new" status. We would ask our volunteers to work in teams of 2 per door, with a couple of folks acting as runners for paint and materials as needed. So, feeling like Picasso? Need to perfect your upper body muscle tone for the beach? This is your project! Pride in place and space inspires others to have pride in their places and spaces, and we want to kick off this summer season with a fresh look. Can you help?
