PV Volunteers

PV Volunteers Currently the PVs serve in Wyoming County, WV, Bedford Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY, Seattle, WA and Aurora, IL.

Established by the Passionist Order in 1973 and flourishing today as a non-profit organization, the PV Program seeks to walk with the least, the last, the lost and the left out.

Two weeks later..... The final day in WV was a success. The volunteers were able to finish up the underpinning site, while some stayed backed at the church to finish up a few projects around the church and to prepare food for the cookout later in the day. The following morning everyone packed up and headed for home, tired but feeling accomplished with all the work they did during the week....

The volunteers finished up their work at the site in Welch today. They had a great experience working side by side with the home owner helping her get a new start after the flood and helping her settle in to some normalcy before the new school year begins. At the other site the volunteers had a little bit of delay waiting for the underpinning to arrive....

This has been a mantra with For the PVs for decades and still holds true. The cornerstones of the PVs have always been service, community and reflection. The service brings the volunteers together and gives a purpose, but building community is equally important, as is reflecting together at the end of each day. New and good anyone??? This summer's volunteers are no exception....

The volunteers continued their work at the two sites started yesterday.Framing for the underpinning continued and is "5/8ths" complete according to my sources ; ) More work was also done under the trailer working on the the plumbing. The site in Welch continued with sanding and mudding and were able to get a prime coat down in one room. Both sites quit a little early because of the heat, but there was no rest for the crew!...

The volunteers spent the day today at two different sites. One group went to Welch to help a woman whose house was flooded in the spring floods. The local kindergarten teacher had recently moved into the house and was working on fixing it up when the flood hit. Her entire basement flooded and the water was up two feet in the main part of the house....

Look at these smiling faces, all ready for the week ahead! Everyone arrived in Mullens in time to have a nice community spaghetti dinner together. After dinner the group gathered for the PV Commissioning and talk about plans for tomorrow. Looking forward to a great first day at sites.

"Country roads take me home to the place I belong, West Virginia ..." As John Denver so eloquently sings, the PVs are once heading to their summer home. A group of 15 PVs are headed down to Wyoming County WV for a week to continue the great tradition of PVs in WV that started so many years ago. This year's group is the largest since COVID and we are excited to what amazing things they get up to....

Community has always been one of the main pillars of the PV volunteers and this past Friday was all about community. The volunteers spent the day wrapping up some loose ends, visiting people in the county, setting up the tool room and finally closing the week with a community dinner. Since we began staying at Mullens United Methodist we have wrapped up each volunteer week by hosting a dinner for the church community and the wider community as a thank you for welcoming us....

It was another hot one today, but there was work to be done! Volunteers went back to the site in Oceana to complete the porch roof and fix the railing. There is something about PVs and roofs, they go together like peanut butter and jelly, another PV tradition. It turned out beautifully and the home owner was thrilled. Volunteers also went back to the site in Herndon to finish staining the deck and to finish fixing the door....

First of all, thank you to all that are following along with the group, commenting, liking, etc. It makes the group feel a part of a larger group. The PV family is strong! Today the volunteers went back to the site in Oceana where they installed the door yesterday to put a roof over the existing landing by the door. This will help tremendously when there is snow and ice to make a safe place to exit, as well as a cool place to pull up a chair on a sunny hot day to get out to of the sun....

Another warm, but beautiful day greeted the volunteers today. Unlike yesterday when everyone went to the same site, today they broke up into two different groups. One group went back to the Monday's site to put some finishing touches in the room the paneling was installed, and to stain a deck to keep it safe from the weather. The group finished up all they planned to and had a wonderful time with the homeowner as well....

The volunteers had their first day at a home repair site today. After loading up the cars they headed out through the mountains to Maben. They task at hand for the volunteers was twofold: to paint a kitchen and it's cabinets, and in another room, repair a wall that was damaged by a leaking roof by removing the the damaged parts, rebuilding the wall and putting paneling over the top....
