DAY TRIP OR MULTI-DAY SERVING
We will most definitely be planning more clean up trips and will let you know with plenty of time in advance. Swannanoa Church has a full house that can house up to 10 volunteers at a time. We also have friends, in nearby Hendersonville, where people can stay. And if you like camping, you can bring your tent and camping gear and go “camping with a purpose.” With school break coming up next weekend, families are welcome anytime to go up for the day (3 hour drive) to help with cleanup. Swannanoa Church said that we can just show up, and they’ll put us to work. For Swannanoa Church’s info and address, click here.
