Southern Poly students volunteer to repair homes

Construction management students from Southern Polytechnic State University learned while volunteering to repair homes during three community service projects this fall.

Students donated their Saturday mornings to replace rotted porch handrails and decking, fix gutters, repair cabinets and provide other upgrades for low-income senior and disabled homeowners, said Trent Anderson, president of the SPSU Constructor’s Guild. They will resume volunteering with HouseProud Atlanta, Inc. in the spring, he said.
