Trip Dates: July 1st-7th
Trip Location: Joplin, Missouri; First Presbyterian Church
Trip Work: Disaster Response (home rebuilding). We will be partnering with organizations like Habitat for humanity through Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (PDA) to aid in the continued effort to rebuild Joplin after the devastating tornado in spring, 2011.
Cost and Fundraising: The cost for each individual to go on this trip is roughly $750. We are asking our 34 participants to pay a portion, to individually fund raise a portion, and we’re partnering with the congregation of Carmel Presbyterian Church to fund raise a portion. Our fundraising includes the following: Super Bowl Hoagie Sale, A Spaghetti Supper/Silent Auction/Talent Night (April 21st), an Easter Bread Baking Sale, Car Washes and a June Hoagie Sale. As always, we invite general donations to the trip as well (or specific- there are several participants who could use a sponsor to help them with their own personal fundraising portion). If you would like to support a participant, please make a check payable to Carmel Presbyterian Church with “Joplin Mission 2012″ in the memo line. Address the envelope: Attn: Associate Pastor, Carmel Presbyterian Church, 100 Edge Hill Rd., Glenside PA 19038.
