Camp Cornerstone Seeks Volunteers for Fall Roofing Project

Camp Cornerstone, a ministry of Children’s Bible Ministries located in Greene County near Jefferson, Pennsylvania, is calling for volunteers to help with an important fall project. From September 29 through October 31, the camp will be hosting workdays Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The project will involve replacing and repairing roofs on two one-story buildings. The new roofs will be constructed with both metal and rubber materials to ensure long-lasting durability. Volunteers will play a vital role in supporting the camp’s facilities so it can continue serving its mission and community.

Meals and lodging will be provided for all volunteers, making it easier for those who want to dedicate their time to this effort.

Who We Are

The Franklin County Free Press, established by Vicky Taylor in 2019, emerged as a beacon of local journalism for the residents of Franklin County. Under Vicky's leadership, it quickly became an essential source of news, particularly at a time when major newspaper publications were increasingly overlooking local coverage.
