Conference VIM Teams Forming
VIM Mission in Eastern PA
Help build housing for the homeless in Bristol, PA.
Volunteers are needed to help renovate inhabitable cottages that will be made available to rent at below market rates. A homeless camp is being closed to residents and this VIM project is targeted at providing housing for them. Labor will include mold remediation, sheet rock, trim work, painting, flooring, plumbing, electrical work, window replacement, etc. If your heart is leading you to serve the needy in PA, and your head and hands have a talent in construction, here is a place to serve. Housing is available in a nearby UMC church with showers in a nearby state park. Funding is needed as well for this project. Contact Ben Botti, Eastern PA Coordinator: 215.723.8367, bbbotti@verizon.net.
