Nice looking security screen doors... Mahalo Carey

Just drove by the project at Sacred Heart Church. A bunch of security screen doors were being installed.

Looking good.

Big Mahalo to all the donors and to Carey!

I had to leave early to foster a tripod lava dog, so thanks to HOPE Services for these images:

These are very nice. The screen doors were an excellent idea. There are screens for the windows?

I have been at this site during the week and early on Saturday morning, and it was incredible! Here is just a sample of the community-building that I have seen by what I roughly saw as way more than a hundred volunteers:

The Hawaii State National guard unit was spectacular in doing a ton of the "ground work" to get these HPM fabricated shelter sheds up at such a fast pace & their "git#699;er done" spirit yesterday. County of Hawaii had many of their employees & council reps out assisting. There were workers and materials donated from professional construction companies including HPM Building Supply, Goodfellow Bros., Inc., Takamine Construction, Inc., Nan, Inc., The Home Depot (Hilo, HI), Lowe's Home Improvement (Kailua-Kona, HI), Big Island Electrical Service, Kimo Kahele Construction and many others

Union workers from the Carpenters Union Local 745 & IBEW 1260 and others

Community volunteer groups and donations from Habitat for Humanity Hawai'i Island Hilo ReStore, Hawaii Island United Way, Pu'uhonua o Puna, Punaweb Shed Team (& worked with Lowes to donate all security screen doors for all of the shelters) and sooo many more volunteers from groups & just ones who had to help.

All of this was done with the speed and vision because of HOPE Services Hawaii, Inc., that has been working on this project for years, the fast pace is in the "git #699;er done" part, but they had done a lot of the initial process years ago. One of the past county council reps. had even gotten some used shelters moved into that location, but they were not able to be salvaged, so HOPE Services was in the right place to fast-track these needed shelters.
