Why are we doing
this? |
|
|
There are many people in this country living in poverty. When we help
the less fortunate we’re making the world a better place… one nail, one
brushstroke, one wheelchair ramp at a time. |
|
What is the cost? |
|
|
$600 per person. Each attendee will be personally responsible for
$250 with fundraising to cover the remainder. The church requires
a $50 deposit by March 25th to secure your spot. The remaining
$200 can be received by May 15th. Scholarships are available.
