Volunteer Kudos
As part of operating the Bonner Homeless Transitions organization, there are always projects directed toward satisfying our immediate and proposed needs. These projects are often sponsored/supported by financial, time and/or material donations. Along these lines, we are looking for volunteer help, project materials and monetary donations to assist in completing these projects.

Team Depot Day fence project
The Home Depot donated $1000 in materials and 13 volunteer employees to install a new 80′ privacy fence with 2 gates at Harmony House. They arrived around 9am on June 2nd with tools, determination and kind generous hearts. In less than two hours, they removed the old shattered fence and dug 13 holes for the new one. One could see that indeed they worked well as a team on this “Team Depot Day”.
It was clear that their mission was focused and their hearts sincere toward executing this project with meticulousness and efficiency. The project was completed shortly after 3pm and the final result was literally transformational in appearance and overall feeling. Thank you Team Depot for an excellent job!

Leadership Sandpoint gives Blue Haven a Facelift
Leadership Sandpoint chose the “Blue Haven” facility as the recipient for a much needed renovation project. During the spring, they organized a fund raiser to secure funds for the project along with various donations from local suppliers. During the summer, they put forth the “sweat equity” to bring about the Blue Haven transformation. The facelift came in the form of interior and exterior improvements including:
- power-washing siding
- scraping
- caulking
- remodeling/reinforcing porches
- installing metal roofing and trim on garden shed
- funding the re-working and shingling of the deteriorating roof over the office area (work done by Son Construction)
- reworking a portion of the fire escape
- painting the interior hallway
- painting garden shed
- painting parking bumpers, lines and safety zones
- painting all exterior porches and fire escape
From top-left to bottom-right, Leadership Sandpoint participants Terri Savage, Anita Porter, Stacey Miller, Kathy Weisz, Lisa Ailport, Connie Malone, Laurel Rollins, Transitions in Progress program director Tamie Martinsen, Leadership Sandpoint participants Mike Church, Eric Donenfeld, Kate McAlister, Dawn Spell and Jim Zuberbuhler show off their handiwork on the Blue Haven House. Leadership Sandpoint members Justin Dick, Sean Maruse and Dianna Cartwright also contributed to the work.
