APPALACHIA OUTREACH AUG. 24-26, 2012
Led by Fr. Costas Pavlakos, St. Katherine Greek Orthodox Church, the
Mission and Outreach Committee is organizing a pan-Orthodox group to
travel to the West Virginia Panhandle region (Martinsburg, WV) from
August 24 – 26, 2012 in support of Habitat for Humanity “critical
repair” projects. Critical repairs translate into many areas:
painting, clearing debris, roofing, basic carpentry, plumbing, etc.
The goal is to help the poor, predominantly elderly, residents in the
region have safer, drier, and healthier living conditions. We
encourage both our youth (ages 14 and older accompanied by a parent)
and adults to volunteer for this worthwhile effort. If you have a
construction-related skill, please consider volunteering – we
especially need you, but workers at all skill levels are welcome.
Habitat will provide a project coordinator at each repair site along
with all the required job materials. This mission offers an excellent
opportunity for volunteers to help a disadvantaged group by providing
an immediate service – and to reinforce the commitment of our faith to
help the less fortunate.
Transportation, Lodging, and Meals: Each volunteer will contribute to
these costs. We are looking into renting a bus and having group
members share rooms in a modest motel near the work sites at
Martinsburg, WV. Details to follow.
Proposed Schedule:
Friday, 24 August:
10:00 am: Depart St. Katherine’s (transportation details TBA)
12:00 noon: Arrive Martinsburg and meet with Habitat staff
12:30 -- 1:30 pm: Lunch
