Excel Constructors
Another Christmas in October
A Home Repair Assistance Program
Overland Park, KS - - October 10, 2009 - - Excel partnered with Solutions Bank on one of the coldest
days of the year to participate in the Christmas in October home repair assistance program. The program
assists homeowners who are primarily elderly and disabled, but also includes those with young children
who lack the financial resources and skills to make necessary repairs. Excel Constructors and Solutions
Bank teamed up for a second year and 29 volunteers worked diligently to repair two houses in Kansas City,
Kansas.
The first home had windows replaced, windows washed, indoor plumbing repair of a toilet and sink,
replaced trim, and painted the entire exterior of the home. In addition, the yard was cleared of overgrown
vegetation, leaves, and debris.
At the second home our team installed a handrail leading down into the basement, installed a dryer vent,
replaced a screen door, repaired a toilet, and hauled off massive amounts of brush from the yard. A volunteer
from East Kansas City Electric repaired unusable kitchen outlets
Excel Constructors appreciated the opportunity to work within our community, and all of the
volunteers that participated. It was rewarding to know that the homeowners were thankful and
delighted with the results! We look forward to participating next year for one of the largest
volunteer organizations of its kind in the United States .Please visit
