Deteriorated neighborhoods are magnets for crime, violence, and values that are not life-enhancing. 2nd Avenue UMC is working toward reversing the deterioration and bring life-affirming, life-enhancing, life-giving values and hope to troubled neighborhoods. Over the course of the past year in the Altoona District we have had the opportunity with many of our neighbors to begin to transform our communities through local mission work that has changed our community, parts of Altoona, and our church -- and now we would like to invite you to be a part of it. If you would like to get involved and make a difference, please contact Danny Billetter at (814) 943-2027 or through the church email. Together WE can make a difference!

The neighborhood around 2nd Street and 3rd and 4th Avenues is deteriorating and there are many people who, for various reasons, are not maintaining their property (homes, yards, sidewalks). Deteriorated neighborhoods are magnets for crime, violence, and values that are not life-enhancing. Join the Community Restoration Team in working toward reversing the deterioration and bringing life-affirming, life-enhancing, life-giving values and hope to this troubled neighborhood. Projects vary in degree from painting and repairs to tasks as simple as picking up trash. Volunteers are much needed and tax-exempt donations are also appreciated.

All work days begin at 9am. We will meet at Second Avenue UMC and then proceed from there. Lunch is provided. If you are unable to help with a work team, perhaps you could help provide lunch for the workers. No matter how you choose to help — WE NEED YOU’RE HELPING HANDS!! Contact Danny Billetter at 943-2072 for more information and view the church calendar for Community Restoration dates.
