He and a dozen others signed up as volunteers, and a partnership was born between Staunton (Va.) Church of the Brethren and Renewing Homes in Greater Augusta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal is to make homes safe, warm, dry, and accessible. Volunteers have completed four projects, including constructing a ramp to improve access to a home. Plans are to continue assisting Renewing Homes with their backlog of 50 approved projects. <em>\u2014Brenda Sanford Diehl<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article originally appeared in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/messenger\/\">Messenger magazine<\/a>. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Staunton Church of the Brethren and Renewing Homes are partnering to make homes safe, warm, dry, and accessible. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3474,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[43],"tags":[504,503,502,470,501],"class_list":["post-3476","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-shenandoah","tag-38-710","tag-accessibility","tag-renewing-homes","tag-shenandoah-district","tag-staunton-church-of-the-brethren"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3476"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3476\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3476"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3476"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.brethren.org\/church\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
