Volunteers from All Over come to Transform Park

More than a year after Hurricane Harvey flooded much of Galveston County, many are still in need of repairs or rebuilding.
That’s why the faith-based 8 Days of Hope came in the spring to help repair more than 100 homes in area.
Volunteers from the national group returned this month to help repair and rebuild those still struggling after the storm.
The effort also included helping the city of Santa Fe spruce up one of its long neglected parks. The town was not only affected by Harvey but is still Recovering from the May 18 shooting at Santa Fe High School that killed 10 people and injured 13 more and left a town traumatized.
Recently the city council approved bringing back Keep Santa Fe Beautiful an effort to spruce up the city. It was a collaborative effort by many involved in large part to give the city something positive to focus on.
