Hanover High joins COVER for March Intensive

Last week 16 Hanover High students joined COVER staff in building wheel chair ramps in Hartland and Claremont. Both homeowners were elderly and greatly appreciative of their new access to their homes. The team in Hartland was able to use all recycled decking from the ReCOVER store. They also had the pleasure of pulling Executive Director Rob Shultz out of the office for the week to run a work site! The Claremont gang built their ramp under the homeowners carport to minimize winter shoveling and were able to build a large platform at the turn for a little sitting area. Both teams put in 4 hard days of work and were able to complete ramps with time to spare for yard work!
