Sponsorships are still available for the second annual Hearts & Hammers Gala to raise funds for Fort Bend CORPS. The event is scheduled for Feb. 5, 2010 at Safari Texas Ranch. Fifty percent of the funds raised will go to fund the capital campaign, which will raise money for a permanent Fort Bend CORPS office and warehouse space. The other 50 percent will go to the Hearts & Hammers Program, which does the exterior restoration of homes within Fort Bend County.

The Fort Bend CORPS is a 501 c (3) nonprofit corporation. The CORPS was established in 1999 and has completed home repairs on more than 1100 homes within Fort Bend County. All repairs are provided free of charge with no obligation. This assistance is made possible by grants, monetary donations, in-kind donations, as well as the work of hundreds of volunteers. There is currently a six month long waiting list of important and worthwhile projects within Fort Bend County.
