This document summarizes the work of Team Change Makers, who renovated a home for families in transition in Edgerton, Wisconsin. The team was made up of 6 members from various local organizations. They held meetings to get to know each other and select a project, choosing to renovate the bathrooms and exterior of a home run by Edgerton Community Outreach. With a budget of $9,400, the team fundraised, solicited donations, and volunteered their time over a work weekend to complete the project, providing a safe and welcoming space for families in need.

We left for the weekend and came back to a totally different bathroom, we couldn’t believe how it turned out. This was an unexpected surprise that I am thankful my family was able to experience, and it wouldn’t have happened without you guys. Thank you all so much!"
