PCO is excited to announce that we will be hosting a service project on Martin Luther King Jr Day in January!
Partnering with the Wheelchair Ramp Ministry of First United Methodist Church of Slidell, volunteers from around the area will gather on January 18th, 2010 to build ramps for citizens in need in and around Slidell. Louisiana’s Delta Corps program has already promised 40 volunteers, which already means at least 4 ramps!
FUMC’s Ramp Ministry began about 15 years ago. They took a break during the year of Katrina, at which time the church focused its efforts on rebuilding their building. According to the head of the program, since they started back up again in 2007, the rate of requests for wheelchair ramps has increased – likely due to changes in population and damaged housing that has yet to be repaired, in addition to the need that was already there.
I invite the entire PCO community to follow us on this endeavor! Find more information in the MLK Day page (link at the top of the blog) about the project, its needs, and how you can help! And keep checking the blog for updates on how the planning is coming!
