What's Included

Overview

Project Patch is one of our many efforts based in North America. Each year, Maranatha works with organizations in the United States and Canada to provide volunteer labor for various construction or renovation projects.

Project Patch is a residential center for at-risk youth, passionately committed to restoring hope to teens, building thriving families, and empowering supportive communities by operating several youth programs.

Maranatha and Project Patch have a long relationship, which began in the early 1990s. The campus is now 30 years old and has a few needs. Volunteers will help with flooring renovations in the girls’ dorm, exterior painting on staff rentals, and repairs in the shop.

Due to the nature of this school and the community it serves, we are only accepting adults and a background check will be required, complimentary of the school.

Project Stats: 94 vol. work days *7hrs *$30=$19740.
Volunteers completed the following:
Replaced flooring in the girls’ dorm,
Duplex One – demolished and rebuilt back porches, including extension of roof line, repaired and painted wood shed.
Built porch, stairs and railing for teachers “little house”,
