Volunteer Stories
Don Baker contributes an average of 60 hours a week with Block by Block. Don is a volunteer from the United Methodist Church and like many others he has done everything from hanging siding and finishing floors to rebuilding flooded homes.
“It is very rewarding to help others, and to see people from all over come to Cedar Rapids,” Don explains. “There seems to be signs of normalcy coming back into the community.”
Block by Block is remodeling more and more flood-affected homes and neighborhoods continue to sign up. Don believes the work that Block by Block has done has changed the community. He saw a young family purchase their first home as they welcomed their newborn child. Don loves to see young people coming back into the neighborhood.
“Young people are very important for our community, they are the future,” he said.
