Flood at HFF

Volunteers: above and beyond. HFF offices and shelter units are  in a 100-year old building.  Over the weekend a clean water pipe burst on the 2^nd floor and flooded the main office area.  Discovered by accident, maintenance pitched in to pick up the ceiling tiles, etc. Fortunately, computers and desks and important papers were saved.  After things dried out, volunteers Patti Capella (l) and Karen Cook (r) climbed ladders and wiped down the walls. Over the weekend, many Young Heroes (high school program of City Year) helped maintenance in the basement. They recorded the items that were destroyed for insurance purposes and cleaned those that could be salvaged. There is usually a rainbow behind the clouds of a flood and our volunteers showed the spirit needed and helped our programs continue uninterrupted.
