HomeWorks
HomeWorks is a 501(c)(3) with a mission to show God’s love through service to others by repairing the homes of elderly and disadvantaged homeowners, assisting youth in their development and empowering communities to care for their own members. Since 1996, more than 50,000 youth and adult volunteers have repaired more than 3,000 homes for elderly, disabled or veteran homeowners who qualify based on income/ownership guidelines. A typical homeowner assisted by Home Works is a 76-year-old widow living annually on $12,000. Home Works oversees various repair projects ranging from the replacement of roofs to the construction of ramps, the gutting of bathrooms, the repairing of ceilings and the painting of walls and home exteriors. Home Works creates a context in which youth are mentored in life skills while connecting with poverty-stricken homeowners in a context of transformation. At every Home Works repair project, construction meets compassion. For more information on how to volunteer (individual or youth/civic/corporate group) or to see if you qualify for home repair assistance, please visit www.homeworksofamerica.org or contact the Home Works office at (803)781-4536.
