This year The Common Ministry’s at WSU is offering an Alternative Spring Break Mission Trip to Western Washington to do repair work on homes damaged by recent floods. We will begin by plugging into the Young Adult Retreat at Lazy F Camp outside of Ellensburg and then head on to Chehalis and begin a week of helping put people’s lives back after the intense loss caused by flooding.

If you are interested please let us know immediately. The deadline for the retreat is Friday, March 29. If you can’t get the registration done by then, please email Robert Hicks (robertcm@pullman.com) to let him know of your interest. You can download the registration form and mail it with a $25 check. To sign up for our part of the mission trip just send Robert or Eric an email saying you wish to go. We will contact you about our next planning meeting.

This trip is open to all students regardless of your campus affiliation.
