The Cass County COA’s Handy Helpers are officially back to work after Gov. Gretchen Whitmer announced construction would be allowed to resume earlier this month. The announcement came after construction was halted in March due to the outbreak of COVID-19.

 

“I am glad we are able to be back doing this,” said organizer Leslie Vargo. “We are outside, so we are staying safe and happy to be back helping the community.”
