Morgan-Scott Project is pleased to have youth work groups all summer from FAST (Faithful Advocates Serving Together), headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio. These groups will include young people from United Church of Christ and Disciples of Christ churches throughout the U.S. This is in addition to the usual volunteer work groups that visit us each summer, so we expect to accomplish a lot this year.
The first group included 15 people from Northside Christian Church in Knoxville, Tennessee, under the leadership of Rev. Frits Havenkamp, and six people from Carl Road Christian Church in Columbus, Ohio, led by Seth Stout.
This group placed underskirting around the trailer of a lady named Maeona, and painted and stained the wheelchair ramp and porches of a lady named Georgetta. Both ladies are in their 70’s and live alone. (Georgetta gives back to the community by hanging clothes at the MSP Thrift Store.) In addition, this FAST group scraped, sanded, and painted the Gazebo in the Town Square of Deer Lodge, so the entire community benefited from their visit.
We appreciate the work of these young people who are dedicated to making a difference in the world.
