Heartland targets more schools for refurbishing

Last spring, Heartland Community Church undertook a huge volunteer project and cleaned, fixed and repainted two grade schools and some East High School classrooms.

This year’s project will be much bigger. Heartland congregants learned Sunday that come June, they’ll be refurbishing Ellen Stiles School, the westernmost school in the district,  they’ll keep plugging away on East, and they’ll take on Flinn Middle School — the whole thing.

Heartlanders will also install doors and side panels on scores of toilet stalls in schools throughout the Rockford School District.

No tax dollars are used, all the materials are bought by the church or donated. Heartland is hoping for 5,000 volunteers to get the job done in about a week.
