A team of hardworking Sault College students participated in the Trades Day of Caring program, assisting 29 seniors with yard maintenance. The initiative, in partnership with United Way Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma, included tasks such as raking leaves and preparing for winter. The program has grown significantly since last year, with more students and homes involved. Volunteers found the experience rewarding and appreciated the opportunity to help those in need.
Debbie Corbett woke up feeling extra thankful this morning as a hardworking team of Sault College students raked up all the leaves from her front and back lawns.
Under the supervision of college instructors, 45 trades students broke up into groups around town to help seniors prepare for the winter months, which included caulking windows, applying weather stripping, sealing windows, storing hoses, and raking leaves. “My maple tree is mighty and sheds a lot,” she added. “I have no younger siblings or nieces and nephews in town anymore, so I have to ask for help. I’m really grateful for the help.”
Farrah Farstad, a first-year student at Sault College and one of Saturday’s volunteers, says the experience to help residents in need has been extremely rewarding.
