Renovating the community

February 20, 2025

For the past two years, the Work Ethic Camp (WEC) work crews have assisted with renovations of McCook Christian Church-Palisades Campus, painting the interior and exterior, landscaping and removing flooring. This project has provided ample opportunities for men at WEC to hone a variety of valuable construction skills.

While renovations are still in progress, thanks to the efforts of these crews weekly gatherings are now able to be held in the building. We appreciate our partners who support NDCS efforts to develop #MeaningfulWorkTrajectories.
