Habitat for Humanity does more than build homes. They also build ramps for disabled seniors with fixed and/or low income.
Habitat for Humanity provides a free handicapped ramp program for qualified disabled, low-income and fixed income seniors. The materials and funding used to build the ramp are donated and volunteers help with building it.
The Plymouth Presbyterian Church Deacons have pledged to assist The Columbia County Habitat for Humanity, Ramp building project.

"5 Church Partnership in Faith Build" CONSTRUCTION UPDATES
Each year our congregation buys non-perishable items for Boxing Day. We fill large plastic totes with the items from the attached list and take them to Community Action Team (CAT) at the end of the year.. They give them to people who are getting their first permanent housing. Many of these folks are struggling to make it, so the gift of these totes gives them just a little boost. You can buy the items that are on the list and arrange to drop them off at the church, or you can donate money and signify that it is to be used for Boxing Day Thank you for your continued support of this local mission. This is the work of the church. Thanks be to God!!
Plymouth Presbyterian Church Supports this organization through volunteers and donations of butter and funding. We sponsor a "Butter Shower" on a regular basis to collect butter for the cause. If you would like to volunteer to work at Community Meals with the Plymouth Volunteers or if you would like to make a donation contact Gina Harrington or Linda Dunn.
Serving meals: Tuesdays and Thursdays year-round
