Mountain Mission School

Last weekend, The Call to Serve was in the middle of the Appalachain Mountains in Grundy, Virginia. CTS was there to deliver donated items and to help out at Mountain Mission School (MMS). Thanks to the generous donations of our supporters, we were able to purchase $1,000 worth of supplies to keep MMS going strong. We also took care of some maintenance around the school and organized some fun activities for the kids, including a little water balloon mayhem! All in all, it was a great experience to be around such a positive environment and help in whatever way we could.

We were very impressed to learn that MMS has been doing great things for children in need since 1921. MMS strives to give hope and opportunities to children suffering from abuse, poverty, or neglect. Being around the kids at MMS was a pleasure and it really was a cultural experience because MMS has taken children under their care from all over the world. There is a sign as you enter the school grounds that reads ” DRIVE CAREFULLY: Future Local and International Leaders at Play.” We couldn’t agree more with the sign and drove very, very carefully!
