Still Time to Sign Up for Jesse Lee ASP 2018 Mission Trip

There’s still time to sign up for Jesse Lee Appalachia Service Project’s 2018 mission trip – but the first required orientation sessions are occurring soon.

All ASP volunteers must attend four orientation sessions – the first of which will be held on Wed., March 21 and repeated Tues., March 27. (You choose which one to attend.) Both will be from 6:30 to 9 p.m. in the lower level of the main sanctuary building of Jesse Lee Memorial United Methodist Church, 207 Main St.

ASP is a national Christian organization that sends volunteers on weeklong mission trips to make homes “warmer, safer and drier” in West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina. Since ASP’s founding in 1969, more than 410,000 volunteers have worked on 18,300 homes.

The second-largest ASP group in the U.S., Jesse Lee ASP will make its 35th annual mission trip June 30-July 8. ASP is open to adults and to teens who will have completed their freshman year of high school. Especially needed this year are adults – both those who have teens coming along and those who don’t.

You don’t have to be a member of Jesse Lee or any church, you don’t have to live in Ridgefield, and you don’t need to be an expert with a hammer to volunteer. Basic construction skills and safety rules are taught prior to going on ASP.

You must bring completed forms and a check for $265 to the March orientation meeting. Download forms and get all the 2018 details, including training and meeting dates, at www.jesseleeasp.org.
