Our Background

Many low income and elderly in the San Luis Valley live in sub-standard housing. Harsh winters (sometimes as low as -40 degrees) can cause a crisis for those who live in drafty houses and do not have money to pay for adequate heating. Other poor housing conditions can create hardships for the infirm or physically handicapped. San Luis Valley Christian Community Services sponsored service projects in the Valley for over 20 years and now Christian Community Service Projects (CCSP) continues to provide these services. CCSP is governed by a board with members from several area community churches.

Volunteers repair or renovate houses under the direction of a Job Site Coordinator. Possible jobs include plastering, painting, roofing, weatherization, stucco repair, handicap access, yard work, and flooring.
