From our beginning in 2005 Friends has enjoyed tremendous volunteer participation in rehabilitation work at the Depot site. In the past 14 years volunteers have worked more than 19,400 hours doing all sorts of skilled and unskilled labor. Much of the work has been hot and dirty, but was done with enthusiasm. Many humorous events occurred during these hours, and a spirit of camaraderie prevailed through it all. Even if calculated at minimum wage, this labor has a value of more than $268,000. Participation at a "hands dirty" level brings a sense of satisfaction that only those who volunteer ever know. Now that the dream the fully rehabilitated Depot is a reality, new members have been joining those who have worked many years at the site, and a special bond is forming in the group.
