NKBA Piedmont Blue Ridge Chapter has adopted a volunteer project with the NEW “GIRLUp GVL”. This nonprofit organization was Founded and created by Kim Morgan to empower marginalized Middle and High School Girls through positive experiences and relationships.
GIRLUp provides an enriching space for these young women to not only socialize but also study together in small groups, learn leadership skills, and get help with collage searches all the way through the admissions process.
Morgan runs the program, but she cannot do it alone. This is a project where we, NKBA local chapter members, will be able to help make a difference in our community. We are looking to pull our collective expertise to improve the Kitchen, bathrooms, and laundry areas of the house where these girls meet.
We are asking for the following items to be donated: - Cabinetry for kitchen, and vanity (per design)
- Countertops
- Kitchen Appliances; 1 Refrigerator, 2 stoves, 2 microwaves
- Kitchen fixtures; 2 sinks, 2 faucets, Hardware (pulls & knobs), Utility sink for laundry room
- Tiles for shower area
- Kitchen Flooring
- Lumber to build shelfs
- Miscellaneous items; screws, calk, nails, paint, glue, grout, plumbing supplies
We are asking Volunteers to assist with the following Labor projects: - Installation of cabinetry in the kitchen and bathroom (per design) and installing pulls and knobs
- Plumber to reroute plumbing to new locations as well as add new locations and hook up new fixtures (there is easy access under the house in a large clean crawl space)
- Installation of kitchen floor
- Tile installer for shower walls
- Skilled labor to re-glaze an old cast iron tub
