On Wednesday, February 25, a group of students and staff from Boys Home
of Virginia will assist at the Greater Lynchburg Habitat for Humanity
ReStore location. This project called Light the Way is a show of
gratitude to the many area supporters and groups who have helped Boys
Home through the years. Named to honor Bishop Heath A. Light, retired
bishop for the Diocese of Southwestern Virginia, the Boys Home group
will provide lunches for the construction manager, building crew and
volunteers.
Susan Morris, program
assistant for GLHFH, will provide a tour and explanation of the program
as well as show how volunteers play a major role in the success of the
Habitat for Humanity organization, locally, nationally and
internationally.
The students attend the
Boys Home School located on the Boys Home campus, in Covington,
Virginia. Boys Home School provides residential education for young men
who need remedial classes in elementary or middle school or concentrated
classes in high school to gain credits towards a high school diploma.
Boys Home students and
staff regularly volunteer their time and talents to community services
projects, most in the Covington area. Some of the projects are sponsored
by the local Alleghany Highlands Kiwanis Club through the Boys Home Key
Club or through community involvement.
