Team Ranken, made up of 27 volunteers including current students, new students, alumni, staff and families, joined Rebuilding Together in their national effort to clean up and repair homes in St. Louis. Team Ranken’s home, located on St. Louis Avenue in north St. Louis, needed some TLC inside and out.
For eight hours on May 1, Ranken volunteers worked together to make an elderly man’s home safe, clean, and rain-proof. Tasks included cleaning windows inside and out, laying tile, hanging drywall, and painting walls and fences as well as installing soffit and fascia.
Thanks to our Alumni Leadership Council members, Mike Schweiss and Brett Randoll, house co-captains, for purchasing the materials and overseeing job duties.
Over 2,500 volunteers repaired 100 homes in the St. Louis area through Rebuilding Together, a not for profit organization located in Webster Groves. This project is held the first Saturday in May annually. We hope to be together again next year and hope to complete two houses.
