Home Improvement Team
The First Presbyterian
Church sent a team of members to Mississippi
where they did door to door canvassing asking residents what
kind of repairs were needed. Many lives were touched by these
folks and the project was warmly welcomed.
They have brought this idea back with them and are trying
to adapt this program
to Grand Rapids.
They are in need of opportunities to try and help folks who
may be in need of help to get a project completed within or
without the home.
If you or someone you
know is in need of help, contact
