Members of the Gales Ferry United Methodist Church traveled to rural Maine this summer to help with home repairs that are expected to keep at-risk families warm over the winter.

The group has completed 16 home rehabilitation trips, and this one was the third with Maine Seacoast Mission.

Volunteers replaced a roof and trim boards, installed a new front door and built a front deck during this trip.
