Wheaton’s Gary UMC volunteers build home in Indiana

A group of volunteers from Gary United Methodist Church in Wheaton traveled to Lafayette, Indiana this fall to build a home with Habitat for Humanity.

This home was a “Boiler Build,” where students from Purdue University also helped to raise money and build the home.

Gary UMC volunteers worked side-by-side with the homeowner to paint, plus install flooring, doors and trim. The church also made a financial donation to the Habitat build.

If you’d like to contribute to Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization that builds safe, affordable housing for people in need, go to garychurch.org/give.

If you’d like to participate in the next build in the spring, contact the church office at office@garychurch.org.

The church at 224 N. Main St. has vibrant music, kids, youth and adult ministries, plus opportunities for local, national and global missions. Sunday worship at 9 and 11:11 a.m. Between services, there’s Sunday school for all ages, a coffee fellowship hour, plus the chapel is available for prayer and reflection.
