Help Gulfport Resident With a Home Project

Gulfport Neighbors calling on volunteers for help!

On Saturday January 28th, at 8 a.m. Gulfport Neighbors invites all volunteers to 5200 8th Avenue South in Gulfport to work on a very large home project to help a neighbor in distress. Water will be provided, but please bring work
gloves, rakes, tree pruners, wheelbarrows, shovels, hammers, and other tools. If you don't have tools to bring, don't worry, as there will be extras on hand.

Community Service Officer Robert McLaughlin of the Gulfport Police Department informed Doug Hudson, one of the founders of Gulfport Neighbors of this home's
grave condition.  

"We have never taken on a large project like this," Doug
smiled, "but we are excited to do whatever we can to help a resident in need.

We have over 60 confirmed volunteers and the number is still rising."

The Group will be removing old fencing, installing donated fencing, trimming trees, raking, hauling debris, removing an unsafe deck, replacing a kitchen ceiling and much more! Tim Coppola, Certified Arborist and owner of Coppola Tree Service of Gulfport is donating his time and bucket truck to help trim the area. Gulfport's Safety Tire has also made a donation of goods and services. Beachway Park in Gulfport is donating the fencing.

Gulfport Neighbors is a Community group that was formed last year in Gulfport. The group includes many multi talented and passionate volunteers in the City that want to continue to make Gulfport a better place to live and work. With four community cleanups under their belt, with a total of 199 volunteers, there is a lot of good going around in Gulfport.

If you are a business or citizen who would like to volunteer or donate items, you can contact Gulfport Neighbors on Facebook, or for more information, please call Doug at 727-744-9248.
