Dominican Republic Trip 2023

July 8 - 15 has been set as the dates for the 2023 mission trip to the Dominican Republic.

This year, the volunteers will focus on adding a third story to the school. Many of the classrooms are extremely overcrowded, making instruction very challenging.

World Servants organizes the trip. For more information on travel, the work, and the relationships built, please contact Wendy F.

Volunteers Needed this Thursday

On Thursday, Dec. 22, the Western Farm Workers Association Christmas food baskets will be sorted and delivered.

Starting at 9:00 am, at Reedville Presbyterian Church, 2785 SW 209th Ave in Aloha, volunteers will have a briefing and form teams to sort food.  After lunch, drivers will be taking the food to the members' homes.
