C.R.E.W.
Community Restoration by Ecumenical Workers
We are a faith based organization sponsored and supported by Peace Memorial Church, a United Church of Christ church in Palos Park Illinois. We were founded and organized to be an outreach ministry of PMC into the greater Chicagoland area. Our goal is to provide assistance to homeowners who may not be able to maintain their property with labor provided by a variety of sources, church youth groups, high school community service groups, corporate outreach, and just plain concerned volunteers who are willing to lend a helping hand to deserving individuals and families.
Presently, we sponsor a yearly event we call “The Big Build Weekend” which allows volunteers from PMC and the community to experience a mission trip atmosphere without leaving home. At last year’s “Big Build” volunteers from PMC constructed the interior and exterior walls of a two story house in the parking lot of Peace Church. The structure was later transported to a Habitat for Humanity site and is being completed by the recipient family and Habitat crews in Riverdale Il.
Future plans for CREW include the establishment of a retreat/mission center to house groups from other parts of the country who want to experience this type of mission, and to expand our services to deserving families and individuals in the Chicago metropolitan area.
