Finishing Crews

In the event that a Site Crew does not complete work, we need finishing crews on stand by to wrap up the work. Will you help us?

Construction Clean-up Coordinator

mike — Tue, 27 May 2008 03:41:22 +0000

Some work sites will create construction debris and we will need to work out the collection with local collection service companies or the city, many times they will donate the time and resources to complete the clean up of our sites. Having a person on your team who can “talk trash” is always helpful.

Connect with all local media organizations, including TV, radio, newspaper, and help us get the word out before, during, and after the camp.
