"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the World. 'For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to me. Then the righteous will answer Him saying, 'Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? And when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?' "And the King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to me.' Matthew 25:34-40
Our objective is simple: To help those who cannot help themselves, either financially or physically, in addressing needed home repairs. All work is done at no cost to the recipients. Helping Make A Difference is based in the northwestern part of North Georgia and southeastern part of Tennessee and is a ministry of the Woodland Park Baptist Church in Chattanooga. For the most part, those who are being helped with needed home repairs are widows with limited income and physical limitations. However, our mission also includes helping single parent mothers, expectant mothers and others that make choices each month whether to purchase food, medicine or simply pay bills. Consequently, no money is left over for needed home repairs. This mission sometimes involves simple tasks such as raking yards, cleaning gutters, changing light bulbs, fixing water leaks or more complex projects such as repairing or replacing roofs, painting, repairing walls, constructing wheelchair ramps, etc. This group of Christian men and women join hands during the week and on various weekends to work and enjoy the Christian fellowship of each other, and at the same time, serve our Savior by serving others. Prior to the weekend, this website will list the upcoming work activities and the tools and skills needed. A meeting place is established and work assignments are made or requested. For security reasons, the address of the homes will not be listed on this website. If you would like to be a part of this organization either by providing manpower, tools, or building materials, please contact us at: helpingmakeadifference.org Monetary donations can be made by check to Woodland Park Baptist Church and earmarking the check for Helping Make A Difference.
