As soon as it was announced that Extreme Makeover: Home Edition was coming to Delaware this past August, there has been a buzz around town that hasn’t stopped. It started when we asked for volunteers and sponsors to help with the build and, by the time the actual work started, the energy had reached a […]

Late in the afternoon on Day 5, with a hurricane on its way, it was nice to see the build team slow down for a few minutes to share a meal together. Throughout the day, they had been working at a feverish pace, accomplishing amazing results that made onlookers wonder if their eyes had somehow […]
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition and Schell Brothers will be suspending the Delaware build effective at midnight tonight. We will attempt to restore the build at 1pm Sunday once the storm has passed, or as soon as we are informed that it is safe to return to the job. The shuttles will stop running today at […]
Everyone has something to offer. I think that’s one of the most obvious themes of today’s activity at the build site. Some people have very strong personal motivations for volunteering, while others just want to be help out because they can.

The little white fellowship hall that stands adjacent to Rehoboth Presbyterian Church at Midway, at the intersection of Rt. 24 and Rt. 1 in Lewes, Delaware will forever have a lovely story to tell. A story of a generous, kind-hearted woman with a mission. The small building is one of several sites where Dale Dunning […]
At 9:30 Monday morning, energetic volunteers were already lining up at the registration tent located at Cape Henlopen High School. Many had driven several hours to get here, changed schedules, or called off work – for the chance to participate in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The parking lot was full of people texting and calling friends […]
