Volunteer and Donate
This year marks 10 years of mission trips to McDowell County, WV, one of the most impoverished counties in the US. Unemployment consistently hovers at 25%, with 70% of the children living in foster homes or in single-grandparent homes. This region of Appalachia is rife with difficulty and hardship.
This year our trip is from June 11 – 17.
We are looking for donations & volunteers to help us achieve :
- A volunteer construction team to build/repair handicapped ramps, roofs, make flooring repairs, and do drywall construction.
- We will partner with Emmanuel Baptist Church to hold a weeklong Vacation Bible School and provide meals for 80 – 100 children.
- We will prepare homecooked meals and deliver them to the homebound, indigent, and elderly.
- We will purchase and distribute grocery store gift cards and baby formula to needy families.
- We will also put on an “open to all” community-wide Pig Roast for an estimated 150 people.
Even if you can’t join us, you can support our efforts through donations to “West Virginia Missions.” Please donate today!
