wwaytv3_staff,

Cape Fear Volunteer Center and Group Work Camps will be in the area THIS week for an intensive one-week mission trip type of service. June 20-25

These workcamps offer individuals and youth an opportunity to perform hands-on home-repair projects for needy residents, many of whom have seen their homes damaged by natural disaster or just years of can’t-afford-to-fix disrepair.

Approximately 500 individuals and youth from around the country will spend one week in our community performing needed repairs the week of June 20-26, 2010. The impact of the work is just under a half a million dollars to our area during the week of service through the Volunteer Center/ Because there is a great need to help elderly, low-income, and disabled families in our community with much-needed home repair we can use community support, call today to lend a hand.

Free material and labor will be provided to residents for Painting, Porch Repair, Wheelchair Ramps, and minor External or Internal Home Repairs.
