Harlan Ministry Needs

SWAP is able to help local people

through your registration fees, and also through donations of materials and supplies. These donations are extremely valuable in keeping our costs down.

  • Perhaps a business in your area would be willing to donate mis-matched latex paint, seconds, or damaged building materials, etc.
  • Or perhaps your group could organize a “donate to SWAP” box for people who would like to participate, but aren’t able to come on the mission trip.

Here are some of our ministry needs for 2008:

  • Screwdriver bits - T25 (longer length)
