The Carolina Cross Connection volunteers are back in our area this summer. You will probably notice them as they paint homes, fix porches and wheelchair ramps, repair roofs, cut weeds and a number of other chores. Who are they and why do they work like that? The Carolina Cross Connection volunteers are good, Christian folks who want to lend a helping hand. They volunteer a week of their summer to help folks around here with home repair needs. If someone cannot afford the labor and/or mate- rials for home repairs, these people may be able to help! There is no charge for the work. You may be asked to help provide the materials if possible, but do not let lack of materials or money stop you from calling them. If someone you know may be able to use the help of Carolina Cross Connection volunteers or if you would like to know how you can get involved, give them a call at 704-538-9113.
