Hello from Mullens Staff! We’ve been having a great time getting to know the families, the community and of course, the volunteers. We’re super excited because week 2 has a special t-shirt auction planned, I think this will give us enough money to fully fund a new bathroom for one of our homes. We’ve finished a few homes and we’ve started a new one for week 2 and we’re very excited to tell you about it!Without further ado, an update on each project…
