On March 15, 2014, Rebuilding Together Tampa Bay will be doing some work at Plymouth Park in Tampa Heights.  The project is not exceedingly huge, so they will only need five (5) volunteers from the DZAA to assist.  The project will begin at 8:00 a.m. and should conclude around 1:30 p.m.    Volunteers will be asked to assist in setting up, the check-in process, and help paint and build decks for low-income families in the Tampa Heights community.  They also need assistance in organizing supplies and relocating back to the main office.
