Mission
Statement
The Volunteer Ministry coordinates volunteers to use
their skills, witness and positive influence to
promote the vision and mission of
Cary
Christian
Center.
Due
to the high number of houses in serious need of repair
in the surrounding Mississippi Delta, this ministry
serves community members who need and request work
done on their homes. The ministry is made
possible by hundreds of volunteers from all areas of
the country who come to donate their time, skills, and
labor for community home repair projects and other
Center job needs.
Special
Skills, activities, or professions that can offer exposure
and interactive learning for children, youth, or
adults are welcome!
To
Qualify for Services
Homeowners must go through a housing repair
application process. Applications are reviewed
and evaluated for approval based on income, living
situation, physical state of home, and the level of
need.
Requirements
Homeowners are required to pay for the cost of
materials with a possible discount, and a commitment
by at least one of the home's occupants, when
physically able, to work side by side with
Cary
Christian
Center
's volunteers.
Other
Volunteer Projects
Volunteers are also involved in various other
projects including assistance in the Parent Child
Ministry and The Village, assisting in the Thrift
Stores, making improvements to our buildings and
grounds, and a multitude of other projects, in and
around the Center and community. Many supporters
who have never been to Cary provide wonderful help to
the ministry by making quilts and baby things for the
Parent Child Ministry, rounding up and sending
supplies and resources, donating goods to the Thrift
Stores and helping with the collection and
trucking of those goods.
On-Site
Lodging Facilities
The Center has on-site lodging for volunteers,
including four fully furnished apartments, dormitory
facilities for groups. Volunteers are asked to
make a donation to cover the Center's cost to
provide these facilities and for project building
materials.
The
apartments have a living room, a queen-sized bed,
well-equipped kitchen, and bathroom.
Dormitories

well-equipped double kitchen and dining area, and two
separate sleeping areas with bunks they sleep 35
occupants per area (each with their own bathrooms).
