Good Works

May 14th in Phoenixville
On May 14th in Phoenixville, our Caring Hands volunteers will have the opportunity to repair homes and repair hope with Good Works. They are a nonprofit organization which exists to transform lives by repairing homes for low-income families. Repairs are provided at no cost to the homeowners and volunteers do most of the work. Their goal is to see the inhabitants of these homes rise above their level of poverty and experience a rich measure of hope, joy and dignity through being cared for and knowing that their circumstances matter to their community.

Please read the following information about each date before you sign up:
  • If you sign up to help, you are responsible for your own transportation to and from the event. If you would really like to help and do not have your own transportation, consider organizing a carpool with other Caring Hands volunteers.
  • May 14th from 8:15am - 4pm
  • Keith and Rena Walsh will be the adult supervisors from the Caring Hands Advisory Board
  • Good Works requires that we have 1 adult volunteer per every 4 minors. For this reason, we are encouraging adults to sign up as well
