We here at Team Chester are getting ready for our annual trip down to Hazard, Kentucky to help families in need! While there, we'll be helping the community and the Housing Development Alliance with various home-construction projects to help one of the most underprivileged counties in our country. We're all really excited and thought that this would be a great time to introduce you to our 2011 Team Chester Hazard, KY Volunteers!

This will be Paul's third trip to Hazard, KY, a trip that he thoroughly enjoys along with similar service trips taken with his church and Habitat for Humanity. "The reactions of the people whom we help and the way it makes me feel knowing I made someone's life a little better " makes him want to return as well as the bonds and connections he builds with his team mates.
