The 4 th Annual Knox County Repair Affair will take place on April 21, 2001. Repair Affair is an event that combines the energy of volunteers consisting of Union College students, faculty, and staff and community members to repair houses for Knox County families who would not otherwise be able to afford home repairs. The event brings together over 100 volunteers to repair 10 houses, primarily owned by the elderly. Repair Affair, sponsored Common Partners, is coordinated by students and is planned by student and community volunteers who sit on 5 committees.
Volunteers also serve as site leaders to coordinate the repairs for each house.
