Coming Together: Volunteers Restoring Homes in Midland, Bay City and Saginaw

Midland Daily News

Hundreds of volunteers are spending this week repairing houses in Midland, Bay City and Saginaw as part of the Great Lakes Bay Neighborhood Revitalization Project.

Work started Monday and about 75 homes will be repaired, including 21 in Midland. The project is led by The Dow Chemical Co., Habitat for Humanity and the three local community foundations.

The help around the house has been a blessing, Midland resident Lois Annabelle Hignite said. Workers scraped paint around the windows of her George Street home to prepare them for a fresh coat of paint. The crew also will work on the awnings, paint an out building, replace a window and more during the week.
