A group of high-school students from First Pres recently returned from a week in Kermit, West Virginia, where they participated in numerous service projects with Christian Help Mingo, which serves the low- to no-income population in the heart of Appalachia, specifically Mingo County, West Virginia, and Martin County, Kentucky.

The team served the community through landscaping projects, repair projects, small renovations and work with children at an art camp. The team also worked with food distribution and met with the local fire department and sheriff to learn more about the community.

Here are some photos from the trip.
