Day #105: Give your Carpentry Skills in Fayetteville, NC

Day #105: Give your Carpentry Skills in Fayetteville, NC 1

Yesterday, I received a message from a man wanting to tell me about a unique group of men who serve their community by repairing homes - for free.

Today, Kayla (my four-year-old) and I met this gentleman at Snyder Memorial Baptist Church in Fayetteville. On one end of the church's property is a series of garages filled with tools and equipment to be used to help anyone in need of home repair.

The men who are part of the carpentry team build wheelchair ramps, are prepared to help with disaster recovery, can fix just about anything, and have worked with Habitat for Humanity on home builds. The tools and supplies are also used during Vacation Bible School to teach kids how to make things like picnic tables.

My favorite part was that this carpentry ministry is an awesome opportunity to give if you are a guy who likes to work with your hands.

Are there any groups in your community that offer free home repairs?

Our family spent 2011 traveling the USA in an RV, striving to intentionally "give every day" for the glory of God. We interviewed CEOs of nonprofits and served alongside over 40 organizations and churches.
