Home Ties is a Youth Residential Center that houses up to 10 adolescent boys. This is a safe environment for boys who otherwise lack stability in their lives. But There is an ongoing need for basic repairs, cleaning and maintenance from trimming trees, repairing holes in drywall, replacing screens, helping lay gravel on the driveway, or repairing plumming, dependent on the present needs of the emergency shelter. We are flexible with dates and times. This is a one-time commitment with possible continuation.
