Work Day in DeRidder

The clean up needed in southwest Louisiana is extensive. DeRidder is a community just north of Lake Charles and it was hit hard by Hurricane Laura.

Let's gather together and bring the hands and feet of Christ to DeRidder with another Clean-Up Day, Saturday, September 19th.  

Groups will meet at 8:30 am in the parking lot of Wesley United Methodist Church on Texas Street.

From tarping roofs to sweeping up leaves and visiting with neighbors. No matter your skill level, there will be a chance for you to help the community. 

Registration is not required, but you must be over the age of 18.
