Winamac (Delphi) Indiana - flood recovery

BDM Announces Indiana Project Changes

The Hammond, Indiana project is temporarily closed for the summer, and volunteers scheduled for Hammond now through October 2 are working at the Winamac (Delphi), Indiana project instead. 

Volunteers are no longer being housed in the town of Winamac. Instead, volunteer housing is in the town of Delphi, in a school gymnasium. Capacity at this location remains the same (weekly groups of 15 volunteers).  Volunteers scheduled for this project should be aware that:

• Groups should plan to assist with kitchen duties such as cooking, washing dishes and clean-up activities.
• They will need to go up and down approximately 10 steps in order to access the two different floors of the facility.
• Only one sleeping room is furnished with air conditioning. Volunteers should be prepared for warmer conditions in living, eating and most sleeping areas.

The Hammond project is temporarily closed until October, and volunteers are being sent to Winamac (Delphi), Indiana instead (see above).
