Who is doing the repairs?  

CrossRoads Church at Westfield is partnering with Group Mission Trips, a non-profit youth mission organization. Group Mission Trips will provide youth and adults to perform the repairs. Adults with related experience will oversee all projects as well.

When are the repairs being done?  

Repairs will be done June 16-20, 2025.

How will the repairs be done? 

200-300 high school students and their youth leaders will travel from various states and stay in Westfield for one week. Each day, Monday through Friday, work crews made up of 5-7 youth and adults will be sent to homes chosen to receive repairs.  Each work crew will perform repairs on the same home for the entire week.

Since 1990, Group Mission Trips has connected over 500,000 high school and middle school youth and their youth leaders with local communities to provide over 14 million hours of service through the completion of free home repairs.

What repairs will be done?  

Work crews are prepared to complete the following types of repairs: porch repair/construction, wheelchair ramp repair/construction, step repair/construction, interior and exterior painting, weatherization, mobile home skirting and mobile home roof coating. Other minor repairs may be completed, depending on the difficulty of the projects and the skills of the youth and adults performing the repairs. Projects that cannot be completed and will not be considered for repairs include plumbing and electrical work.

What will the repairs cost me?  

If your home is selected, the repairs are FREE.

How can I be assured the repairs will be done well?  

Youth and adults are evaluated based on their skills, and they are matched to homes where they can perform the needed repairs. Trained construction coaches will oversee the repairs and guide the participants in their work throughout the week.

How will I know I am chosen for the repairs? 

After you submit your application, our local organizer will call you to discuss your application and schedule a visit to your home. Two local representatives from CrossRoads will visit your home to meet you and discuss and take pictures of your requested repairs. In late Spring, our team will review all submitted applications. Letters will be mailed that will notify you whether or not your home has been selected. Please note that throughout this process we cannot guarantee that your home will be chosen to receive repairs.
