Smithville Work Camp June 10-13
May 8, 2024

Members of the Smithville Church of Christ will be pitching in to help show their Christian love for others during the congregation’s annual Work Camp scheduled for June 10-13.
The Work Camp is an annual home rehabilitation/beautification project organized by the Smithville Church of Christ. The church began the Work Camp as a means of helping less fortunate residents of the county do some fix up and cleanup projects around their homes.
“We are not professionals, but we have a few people really skilled at carpentry. We can’t come in and remodel your house but if something is wrong, we are glad to look at it to see if we can do something. We have fixed holes in floors and ceilings. We build a lot of wheelchair ramps for folks. We do brush cutting, tree trimming, gutter cleaning, pressure washing, mowing, weed eating, and other things to improve the outside of your property,” said spokesperson Casey Midgett.
The Smithville Work Camp concentrates its efforts in the Smithville-DeKalb County area. If you would like to have your home considered for the project, contact the church at 615-597-4159 by Saturday, June 1 to acquire an application and release form. The church is located at 520 Dry Creek Road, Smithville.
Applications are also available at local banks.
