Creekfront Salkehatchie is a local mission of Belin Memorial. Each year teams of youth and adults from around the Carolinas spend a week repairing houses for those in need in our community. The ZOE Project empowers vulnerable children to move beyond charity, transforming entire communities to become socially, economically, and spiritually strong.

We need "fresh" volunteers to participate. Please join us in prayer that God will send us the needed volunteers. If you feel led to be a part of this program, please know there are a variety of ways to serve and you are not required to be present every night.
