Riverbend Work Projects for Volunteers…a Win-Win!
“Thanks for the opportunity to come out this weekend. We enjoyed working on the new cabin and we look forward to seeing the ‘finished product’ next summer.” Curt Grice FBC Arlington |

A work retreat at Riverbend is a win-win experience… |

Your group benefits from working together in a worthwhile venture. There is nothing like working together on a project to build unity and teamwork into your group.
-
Riverbend depends on volunteer work groups to accomplish the construction of new facilities as well as much of the ongoing work and maintenance needs.
-
It is good stewardship in that construction and maintenance costs are usually cut in half utilizing volunteers. This stretches donation dollars as far as possible.
Groups range in size from an individual to groups up to 40 to 50 people and in time frame from a single day to a week or several weeks for some of the organized retiree groups with RVs.
Riverbend provides RV hookups for those bringing their RVs and we can usually provide lodging in the cabins for other groups. Meals are provided for volunteer groups on an as needed basis. For groups in cabins we provide free overnight lodging and reduced meals for 8 hours of work. The evenings are free for your program and group times.
