CREW Builds it's first home!

This CREW of teenagers from the Church of the Covenant from Washington, PA helped worked on Y.H.'s house in Moorehaven as did Saint Andrew's Presbyterian Church from Maryland who finished the job here, Hilliard Presbyterian from Ohio started the job at her house some weeks ago. We replaced the roof, gutters (plywood and all) as well as drywall and ceilings, insulation and paint.




This CREW came from Indiana, three teachers, a preacher and his wife, a contractor and an owner of McDonald franchise worked 4.5 days and built this house frame, walls and roof for a retired couple Mr. and Mrs. Garcia. A local man poured the concrete for free as well. Cross Training Ministries from Labelle showed up one day to help them as did 4 local teenagers and some of CREW's own staff. There is still work to be done here and we want to challenge the community to help finish this project! We need shingles, drywall, ceiling, insulation and more. We also need $ to help pay the electrician and plumber! This project made it on WINK TV. http://www.winktv.com/x22920.xml

I think the work you all are doing is tremendous. I know that it takes a special group of people to want to give their time and effort often without thanks. Especially when I saw that they had reduced the amount of office workers you have, thus making it tougher to get all the places you need to be and help all the people you need to help. Thank you on behalf of your community. You have a great group of people working there, and cute too! Is that Amanda girl married? :)
