Savannah Williams talks with Carolina Cross Connection volunteers who helped repair
her porch last week.
Savannah Williams
adds to her “family”
BY ANDIE L. BRYMER
Staff Writer
Savannah Williams says the teens who
helped rebuild her front porch last week are
“like family.”
“They're just wonderful,” she said. “You
can talk with them, pray with them. They're
a blessing from God.”
The group are part of Carolina Cross
Connection. Youth from United Methodist,
Presbyterian, Baptist, United Church of
Christ and other congregations volunteer for
week-long stints doing free maintenance
and home repair for lower income individu-
als.
~ As the group gathered around Williams,
Deirdre Yannello described the volunteer
project as “fun.” Annie Carroll held
Williams dog Koda, teasing that she would
take the dog home with her.
For Matt Gantt, the volunteer job is more
than a chance to help others.
“Everything I've learned about construc-
tion I've learned from Carolina Cross
Connection,” he said.

Williams, family friends and her sons

with the project.
The crew which helped Williams came
from First United Methodist Church in
Dallas, Clemmons UMC in Winston-Salem,
Aldersgate UMC in Rock Hill, S.C. and
Woodmont UMC in Reidsville.
They are among the 70-some youth who
used Camp Loy White in Casar as a base
last week. Volunteers fanned out last week
to work in Bessemer City, Lincolnton,
Shelby, Gastonia and Kings Mountain.
A projected 1,500 volunteers will come
from both Carolinas, Georgia, Florida, New
Jersey and Virginia to aid over 900 families
in the North Carolina mountains and pied-
mont.
Since its inception 16 years ago, the
organization has helped 8,354 families.
While working on the projects, volunteers
stay at camps Loy White, McCall, Patton
Springs, Carolwood and Elk Shoals and
Pfeiffer University campus.
