Each year on one Saturday in May, hundreds of volunteers assist with renovation projects for homeowners that are either physically or financially unable to do the work themselves.
The group usually works on 5-7 homes a year, but so far this year only one household has applied.
Past projects have included roofing, interior and exterior painting, yard or garage clean up, landscaping, plumbing and accessibility issues. All services are provided free of charge to the homeowner.
To apply for the program, contact (952) 361-5350 as soon as possible.Christmas in May will take place on May 19 this year.

We publish an annual Resident’s Guide for each of our communities. It’s a tremendous source of local information – containing lists of services, names of organizations, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, and much more. Keep it handy; use it often. You can find information from the Resident’s Guide here, or order a copy of the publication from our Circulation Department by calling (952) 345-6682 or e-mailing circulation@swpub.com.
Southwest Newspapers’ weekly community papers have histories that go as far back as the Civil War era. Several were started from scratch as our communities began to grow in the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s. These popular newspapers routinely win awards of excellence from organizations like the Minnesota Newspaper Association.
