COBA Community
 |
PlayhousesCOBA members are very involved in the community. Every year at the Spring Home & Garden Show our COBA Remodelers build a playhouse to raffle off. This year's winner is pictured to the left with his grandfather. The raffle from the 2007 playhouse raised money for Trullium Family Services.

Affordable HousingAdditionally COBA has strongly supported affordable housing and Habitat For Humanity. This year several COBA builders and many members were involved. The first project in May was the Helping Hands house which netted a $100,000 donation to Habitat For Humanity from Palmer Homes. |

The second project in September was a coordinated effort between two COBA builders: Pahlisch Homes and Sage Builders. Along with their subs and suppliers two homes were built in "Blitz" fashion in about six hours. Right Click here todownload a time lapse view of the build. |  |
Food DonationsAt most COBA events, attendees are encouraged to bring a non perishable food item to be donated to local food banks. The 2007 Spring Home & Garden Show offered a discounted admission for a food item and the amount of food donated was nearly enough to fill up a 6x10 foot trailer. That food was donated to the Bethlehem Inn. The 2007 Tour of Homes collected food reached almost 16 bins and was donated to Shepard House. |
