Students came together Monday for Project Sweat, an event held each summer in which
youth and adults from several churches work together to help people in
need of home repairs in the area.
Project Sweat uses an application process to find homeowners in need of repairs to their property they cannot do or have done themselves. Students from area churches gather each morning at 6:30 for breakfast and head out to one of the job sites to paint, clean up debris and make repairs to structures of those in need.
This year five buildings are being worked on including residences on Longhorn Drive in Early, Third Street and Avenue B in Brownwood, Bluebonnet Lane in Lake Brownwood, and the old Jones Chapel Church in Early.
This year around 75 students are involved, and will continue to work on the houses through this Thursday.
