Rebuilding Our Community Together

The Shack Home Repair Program helps with critical maintenance and mobility modifications. Our mission is to help keep residents in their homes. We do this by performing the necessary repairs for those who are not physically or financially able to do the work themselves. The Shack Home Repair Program helps seniors age in place. Home bound residents regain their freedom and families can focus on their long term self-sufficiency goals in a safe environment. 
This program is only possible because of the 200+ volunteers each year!
​Thank you!

Meet the Work Camps that make this all happen!

​Shack Home Repair Program exists to coordinate home repairs and resources for those in need in Monongalia County. We do this with the support of over 200 volunteers from all over the United States. Volunteer groups work April-July.
Each year we work on 20+ homes focusing on safety-enhancing repairs for seniors, low income, and disabled families.

However, there is still much work left to be done as we continue to receive calls for help.

If you would like to be a part of this rewarding work contact Michael Barr at the Shack Neighborhood House Inc.
