Making a difference within your reach.
A typical group will consist of 5 ladies – each with one of the job descriptions below. Projects are estimated to be done over a 3 day period. The "typical" project would involve a Thursday - Saturday. Below are the descriptions of the different functions of the team. Because we have already had a tremendous response and great need in our community, we are in desperate need of people to step up and serve. What a blessing to use our gifts and talents and in turn extend the unconditional love of God to a family overwhelmed and discouraged.
Thank you again for your interest. We hope that one of the following job descriptions will align with God’s purpose for you!
