Over a thousand volunteer laborers will pack into one city block in Springfield, Massachusetts tomorrow to help finish 28 home renovations. The goal of the project is to create energy efficient and healthy homes in one of the poorest neighborhoods in the United States.
The house on Prince Street, where Barbara Cisero has lived for 21 years, is going to be painted Saturday, repairs will be made to the porch, a storm door repaired, and the backyard play area for children cleaned up.
" Whatever they want to do is fine with me," she said.
