Saturday Support Personnel - We need all kinds of assistance for our regular Saturday build days, and many things require NO building experience!  We need Site Coordinators for snacks (solicit donations from local stores), morning devotionals, safety talks, last minute supply runs (usually small items - don't worry, it won't be "oops we forgot to pick up the drywall!"), etc.  That means making sure that someone is on-site each week to handle each of those tasks.
