—Ephesians 2:10
Good Works is a Christian nonprofit organization which exists to improve the living conditions for low-income families in Chester County, PA. We transform substandard houses into warmer, safer, and drier homes; and despair into hope. Our services are offered to homeowners at no cost and volunteers do most of the repairs.
Our goal is to see the inhabitants of these homes rise above their level of poverty and experience a richness through being cared for and knowing that their circumstances matter to their community. We believe that everyone benefits when people from different races, cultures, and backgrounds join together in a common purpose.
March 13, 2008 marks the 20th anniversary of Good Works! Since 1988, founder Jim Ford, Good Works’ staff and numerous volunteers have repaired homes and restored hope for over 400 families. Yearly requests for assistance have grown from a low of 13 to a high of 106 and demand continues to outpace capacity. We remain committed to our mission to replace hopelessness with the love of Jesus Christ and continue to make a difference in people’s lives every day. Help us celebrate this milestone anniversary and assist even more families in need with your donation to Good Works today.
