Tom's 25 plus years of experience in all aspects of construction as a licensed contractor have been utilized at New Horizons Youth Ranch as he and the boys recently finished building a house locally for a neighboring resident.
This community service project served as an excellent opportunity for the boys to train in vocational skills as well as experience the gift of giving. In addition to the construction skills, there are many other opportunities available to learn life skills. One area of emphasis is learning to help and serve others. Some of the projects recently completed range from making a cross-country trip to assist a neighbor with a move to Tennessee to preparing and distributing almost 300 evangelistic Christmas gift bags for students in the local public school.
