Wilson les presenta su idea a varios miembros de su comunidad, entre ellos el bibliotecario, el heladero y el maestro. Finalmente, la casa de Gigi es seleccionada para participar en un proyecto de renovación de la comunidad, y todo el vecindario se junta para llevar a cabo un generoso acto de servicio comunitario.
