Exhale Group Returns from Mission Trip
The Salem Church youth group, “Exhale,” spent a week of summer vacation in Kentucky helping people clean up after devastating tornadoes. The group spent the days cleaning water out of basements, cutting up-rooted trees and hauling away the mess.
The worst of the damage was 5 miles from where they were staying. The group members got to their location when the weather started getting bad. This brave group of teenagers and adult chaperones hunkered down until they were needed for clean-up duty.
They said there is so much more that needs to be done and are looking for volunteers to help so they can go back. Exhale will hold a fundraiser to help with the cost of gas and whatever else they need.
Exhale Car Wash
The Salem Church youth group “Exhale” will hold a car wash 9 a.m to 4 p.m. Tuesday, June 25. This will take place behind the bank building. Donations will go towards the Exhale Mission Trip.
