TERRE HAUTE, Ind. (WTWO/WAWV) As part of it’s second annual “Hope Week,” Maryland Community Church is making home repairs this week in Terre Haute’s 12 Points neighborhood.
For those helping in the community, this week is about working together and lending a helping hand.
“Been talking about who is my neighbor and really talking about how we can get out in our community and help our friends in Terre Haute,” Jim Pendleton, student pastor at Maryland Community Church, said. “This year we started asking people in our 12 Points neighborhood who needed help and we started knocking on doors and introduced ourselves and asked how can we help you this summer.”
