Boys & Girl’s Town Moving Forward
Posted by melissaRenovation at the Boys & Girls Town is making progress. The painting is finished, which is a big relief to renovation-coordinator Brandi Yancey since it was a huge task to accomplish. 
The walls are now the hue of Sherwin Williams’ “Cardboard” and the crew is now looking for a nice couch with a neutral or rusty/red color that will compliment the room.
This week, they began their next big project - flooring.
Through a grant, they were able to purchase new shower/tub units, sinks and faucets, at-cost. Groom’s Furniture donated one TV cabinet so they just need one more big entertainment center for the living room.
According to Yancey, the benefit concert in March raised $1000. That money will be used to shop for comforters, sheets, pillows and drapery rods.
Another huge need is sewing. Mel Sieve from Unique Tile has already volunteered to roll up her sleeves and help sew drapery panels, but a few more willing sewers are needed to help with simple, rod-pocket panels.
“We also need a nice couch, or two lounge chairs, and table for the director’s office,” noted Yancey. “She does counseling in there with kids and we are going to make her office feel more comfortable and not so ‘office like.’”
Anyone who can lend a hand or donate products, please contact Yancey at 417-890-5543 or byancey@bkd-ia.com.
