Adopt-a-homeowner – We are constantly looking for year-round help to minister to homeowners after we have finished their houses. The local church can be involved through a family or Sunday school class “adopting” a homeowner or a family in the neighborhood. A group from your church could also obtain information about a family from us in order to help them finish smaller projects around their house.
Adopt-a-week – During our summer camps we need volunteers to help us accomplish various tasks during the week/weekend. Generally, a church will “adopt” a week or weekend of camp. That church will recruit volunteers and send them to SOS at various times throughout the week/weekend. Contact Drew Haltom at (901) 681-9044 or .
Summer Camp – Each summer we host 8 weeks of summer mission camps for Jr. and Sr. High school students. Your youth group can bring a team of students and adult leaders to participate in a week of repairing homes in the name of Christ in Binghampton. Contact Candace Todd at (901) 681-9044 or or register online at www.sosmemphis.org.
Spring Break Camp – Each spring we host 4 weeks of mission camps for college students. Your church could put together a team of college students to participate in a week-long mission trip doing home repairs in Binghampton.

Fall Servants Weekend – Each fall we host 4 weekend (Friday-Sunday) mission trips for small groups, Sunday school classes, families, etc. Various groups from your church can sign up to participate in a short mini-camp, serving
