Jan 29, 2014

Senior Citizens and Disabled persons living in the town of Okanogan may be selected to have their homes fixed up and spruced up this June by a group of youths coming from all over the nation as part of a religious Mission Camp sponsored by Okanogan County Community Action Council and Group Cares.

“Group Cares has been arranging these mission trips for over 30 years and has offered these services in communities across the nation. We are excited to start with the town of Okanogan and hope to bring the program to other towns in coming years as well” said Lael Duncan, of Community Action. Work performed in the past has included wheel chair ramps, new porches and steps, windows repaired, painting, and more Duncan said.

To apply for services on your home, you can pick up an application at Community Action located at 424 South 2^nd in Okanogan or call the office at 422 4041. Email requests for the application can be sent to laeld@occac.com.
