Building materials needed
By Dale Grimm
Do you have any extra building materials cluttering
up your garage? The Fruitport High School woodworking program might be able to use them!
We are looking for the following items to be donated:
Indoor and outdoor paint, varnish, stain, fasteners (nails,
screws, etc.), wood, plexiglass, mirrors, hardware (hinges,
handles, knobs, pulls, etc.). All are needed items that will
be put to good use if they are in good shape. Please keep
in mind that we are only looking for items useful to our
program and projects, not items that are too beaten up
or worn out!
