| Groups working with the Maytown Center MC, with the help of CrossRoads Missions (out of Louisville), offers opportunities for groups (families, churches, colleges, etc.) to come and serve and get to know the people of Appalachia. We try to match the work to the gifts and abilities of each group. Each group does some sort of physical work and some sort of community involvement (like helping with a community dinner or helping with a program with the students). Contact Cj Strange at 502-719-0007 x274 or cjs@crossroadsmissions.com if you are interested in bringing a group to serve in the Maytown area. See www.CrossRoadsMissions.org for more information |

| The money that comes from groups helps us continue to exist through the year. If the charge per person is a problem to a group, then talk to us and we'll try to work something out. |
