What's Included

Overview

The Black Hills Health and Education Center project 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.

The Black Hills Health & Education Center is located in a lovely valley in southwestern South Dakota. Founded in 1979, BHHEC has played a part in improving and changing thousands of lives through the balance of physical, mental, and spiritual education. The Black Hills Health and Education Center is in the process of improving the campus facilities and is asking Maranatha volunteers to assist with framing a 2400 sqft duplex.

Please consider joining us for this project!
