 PestVets is partnering with the Cherokee County Homeless Veteran Program, The Home Depot Foundation, and Habitat for Humanity to bring a ramp to disabled Veteran, Russel Caudle. Russel served over 20 years in the United States Air Force after enlisting right out of high school back in 1954. In 1967, he provided sutation maps to General William Westmorland and other Generals, during Vietnam through the 321st Graphics Shop. Russel and his wife Verna live in Acworth, Georgia.
The project will be to complete a very large ramp with cement portions starting Monday, May 6th and concluding on Thursday, May 9th, 2024.
GPCA PestVets are looking to gather a team to attend this event and be part of the demolition (Monday), framing and building the wooden part of the ramp (Tuesday & Wednesday), and pouring, leveling, and screeting the concrete portions of the ramp and sidewalk to the street (Thursday). The staining of the ramp will be done three months after construction is completed.
Lunch, soft drinks, and water will be provided on all working days and appropriate construction clothing is required including:
- No shorts
- Work Boots
- Leather Work Gloves
- Workers need to provide their own tools (power drills, second chops saw - if anyone has one)
- Safety glasses, if you have them
Volunteers must be 16 years of age or older.
