Neighborhood Task Force, Odessa
April 19, 2008

Throughout Odessa, there are senior adults who do not have the strength or finances available to care for their yards, trees, or repairs to their home. City code requires them to maintain their property but they are unable to meet the code. As a church, we are going to lend a hand to these and care for their physical needs.

And we did!

We happened to 311 W. 83rd St. in a powerful way. Mrs. Willie Bass' home was in disrepair and her yard was overgrown with weeds reaching 51/2 feet tall. We took all the cleaning product we could find, rented a hedge hog and with the help of 14 "Goers" we happened to Mrs. Bass' house.

Pictures alone cannot communicate what we saw, smelled and helped repair. We tried to fix all that we could on a brief Saturday and we certainly left things undone. Maybe we'll go back.

Watch the team at work!

Thank you...
