- Raising much-needed funds to enrich and enhance HAC’s existing services.

Big Fix-A-Thon FAQ’s
To comply with federal, state, and local advisories in response to COVID-19, this year’s event will be simplified:
- Limiting Big Fix Homes in the Town of Orleans to 10 max.
- Limiting 10 volunteers per Big Fix Home.
- Limiting volunteer projects to only outdoor projects, with rare exceptions of licensed contractors doing indoor
work. - Once volunteer capacity is reached, people can still fundraise online and support Housing Assistance’s mission while also passing along special benefits to the Orleans homeowners.
