ROBBINSVILLE: Making a difference: Local woman finds reward in AmeriCorps projects

Andrea Magnolo, of Robbinsville, in her hard hat at a “deconstruction” site in the Mid-City neighborhood of New Orleans where her AmeriCorps team had to salvage useable architectural items from homes slated to be demolished for construction of a new hospital. The doors, window sashes, fireplace mantels and other salvaged materials are then resold at Habitat for Humanity’s ReStore, a discount building materials warehouse on Royal Street that uses all proceeds to build Habitat houses in New Orleans.
