Bike and Build award to Home, Inc.

Home Inc. received an unexpected $1,100 grant from Bike and Build this week. For the past three summers, the United Methodist Church and Home,Inc. have partnered to host Bike and Build riders for an overnight stay in Yellow Springs. So far, the riders have used Yellow Springs just as a resting point on their way to Santa Barbara, Cal. But the longer term plan is that the 30 or so bikers will stay for a workday with Home, Inc. - that's a lot of manpower to help with remodeling and construction projects.

Thanks to all of you in the community who provided food, showers and entertainment for the bikers - they leave town happy and with very high regard for Yellow Springs. For more information on bike and build go to http://www.bikeandbuild.org/cms/content/view/32/49/.
