Life Remodeled Moves Forward With Plans To Hold Annual 6-Day Project With Reduced Volunteer Capacity

Southfield (CW50) - Life Remodeled was founded in 2010 by Chris Lambert and his friends with the goal to build new houses and large-scale neighborhoods in the Detroit area.

What started as a group of 500 volunteers building a house in 6 days for a family, has grown in to 10,000 volunteers building neighborhoods, cleaning streets, and renovating homes and schools during their 6-day project each year.

This year however, due to the ongoing pandemic, Life Remodeled is continuing their annual project but with a reduced volunteer capacity of 5,000 volunteers. This will help maintain required social distancing, as well as ensuring the health and safety of all volunteers.
