Sylvia Center Roof Raising Update
Over 10,000 square feet of roof to seal, and its bringing together those committed to help Cornerstone Community Outreach provide a roof for the Sylvia Center, a place where many formerly homeless call home.
It�s been 12 months since we tore off the old roof at the Sylvia Center. It was six Saturdays of drawing together the community, and �putting our hands to the plow�, achieving what CCO could not do alone. It was an awesome, tough job. When we finished in November, the old material was gone, the roof temporarily sealed, and awaiting the new roof.
Now we are moving forward to finish the roof. Yesterday two major roofing manufactures donated the materials needed to get the job done. Volunteers have signed up to clean off the remaining debris, and prime the concrete for the modified roofing. Compared to last year�s job, this will be light work.
The Sylvia Center Raise the Roof is spearheaded by *Lakefront Roofing Supply*. They are setting the example of a very practical way for Lakefront to bring their knowledge and relationships to the front lines of the fight against homelessness.
Check out our YouTube page for videos from last year, and new one from the current work.

The needs of the homeless are met in different ways
Are you a Maintenance Professional looking to serve?
There are many opportunities available at CCO to use your skills and gifts to help serve the homeless. If you are interested, please contact us.
Consider a donation
Financial donations serve the children, parents, and individuals that are homeless and needy as directly as any hands on service can. Your donation is used to pay for food, a place to stay, and the services that enable and empower them to move to the next step of independency. Be a part of that process. Donate to CCO, and know where your dollar is spent.
