Help Build Hope 2025

In partnership with Help Build Hope, we will build walls for two homes during a special 2-day event, right here in the parking lot at GPC-Chambersburg! Join us as we Build Partnerships, Build Relationships, Build Community, and Build Homes.

Volunteers age 5 and up are invited to participate in our build day, as we create walls that will be used by Franklin County Habitat for Humanity right here in our community to help others achieve affordable home ownership and allowing Habitat to complete the homes faster. Because of your generosity during our Christmas Eve offering, all funds needed for this project have already been raised!
