The Latest...

Our next "CARE in Action" date is on Saturday, May 1, 2010 . Volunteers and skilled leaders are needed to help us accomplish clean-up and simple repair tasks on the homes and properties of seniors and other needy individuals. We offer help to owner-occupied residents who cannot afford basic repairs and maintenance.

Volunteers are needed at work-sites, and to help fix food for the workers. If you can help at work-sites contact Jim Crawford @ 347-4393 or email him at jcrawford@baka.com.

THE CARE NETWORK

We are building a network of care throughout our county to give skilled evaluations and advice to those with housing related problems. The CARE (Construction and Repair Experts) Network exists to help widows, older people and others with needs to maintain the physical condition of their homes and preempt debilitating repair costs through timely advice, congregation-based assistance, and wise referral to professionals as appropriate.

We would like to grow a network of Christian volunteers and professionals from different congregations, living in different parts of Tompkins County, who are gifted in all aspects of home maintenance and repair. We want to invite area pastors to call CFP when they know of a deserving person who faces a home maintenance issue that is beyond the capacity of their congregation. Our purpose would be to mobilize practical gifts and talents, prevent emergencies, strengthen congregational abilities, and build a demonstration of effective Christian service in action.
