While Fosters, where the church is located, is a community rich in tradition, it is also a community in need of repair. Forty percent of its residents live below the federal poverty level.
From lawn care and house repairs to car tune ups and free food giveaways, “Be the Church” set its sights on people and places in need.
Starting June 23 at 9 a.m., about 60 participants did repair work throughout the communities of Fosters, Ralph and Buhl, doing such projects as revamping the Myrtlewood Elementary School gym, playground and school interior.
