Weeklong groups typically arrive at 7:00 p.m. on Sundays, embarking on a week of service and fellowship, concluding with departure on the following Saturday morning.
Experience Appalachia:
Every Wednesday, take a break to immerse yourself in the Appalachian culture and nature. Enjoy hiking, swimming, and water activities like tubing or boating at a local state park.

Volunteers are integral in planning and participating in weekly outreach and ministry activities. Teamwork is essential for daily chores and meal preparation. Your evenings will be enriched with community dinners, game nights, and local music.
