Metcalf team completes 1st house of 2023 United Way Housing Initiative work projects.

The United Way Housing Initiative completed its first repair project of 2023. The team from Metcalf, MS, headed by council woman Etta Criston, completed repairs for a homeowner this past Saturday. The program is funded in part by a grant from The King's Daughters and Sons Circle Number 2 and by The United Way of Washington County. The program utilizes volunteer team labor provided by local organizations, businesses and churches throughout the community to provide minor exterior repairs on homes owned by elderly residents throughout Washington County, Mississippi. The United Way Housing Initiative provides funding for the teams to purchase materials in order to make the repairs.
