The Whatcom Pregnancy Clinic has started on their new building remodel and there are many opportunities for volunteers! Here are some current areas they need help with: 

· Digging an elevator pit in the lower floor of the clinic.  They need to dig by hand and haul out nearly 10 yards of dirt/gravel located on one of the lower floors. This job will be a medium-to-heavy physical project.  They do not plan on it being done in a day or two, but it will take many hands to make it happen.  They could use groups of 2- 4 people for the digging and hauling. This is a job that can be done over the next 3 weeks. 

· Cleanup and pick-up of demo material.  They need volunteers to pick up scraps, drywall, carpet, 2x4 studs, etc., haul them in the parking lots and place them in a steel container for disposal. This project can be done by 1 or more people at a time.  This needs to be done before they can start framing/ building the new interior walls.

Upcoming projects starting within a couple weeks:

• Carpenters: Once the demo material is removed there will be opportunities for carpenters to help build their new interior walls and perform infill work. This will be a medium to physical type project and will require a bit of skill. It is a project that can be done by 1 or more people at a time. All material and tools can be provided, but you can also bring your own.

• Electricians: They need to remove some light fixtures and electrical conduits as well as discuss and plan the relocation of one of the electrical panels.  They also need new wiring and circuits installed after framing is completed. This project requires a commercial electrician and electrical contractor.
