- Call or email Fuller to describe your project
- Greater Blessing Projects:
- Larger repairs costing up to $5,000.
- Most labor and materials will be donated.
- Any materials or specialized services that must be purchased will be obtained at the lowest price possible.
- Homeowners become full partners with Fuller, contributing "sweat equity" as they work alongside Fuller volunteers.
- When the project is complete, homeowners slowly "pay forward" the cost of their project, all on burden-free terms they can afford, with zero interest.
- These "repayments" are then used to help another Utah County neighbor get the same hand up.
- This gives partnering families the greater blessing of giving to others after receiving help themselves.
- A written application and home visit are required.
- Contact Fuller to describe your project and receive the application.
