Worksite Information:

In terms of work projects, we are hoping to have a large variety for the campers. CHWC is working with one agency that wants to build wheelchair ramps, and there is a food packing warehouse in the neighborhood as well. Because this is a new location for CHWC, the projects will be new for this year also. We will learn more information about our worksites as the trip draws near.







Past CHWC experiences have included yard/landscaping work, minor home repairs, cleaning, painting, childcare programs, interaction with residents of care facilities, and working with food banks and thrift stores.
