Carefest 2016 has been postponed until Monday, Jan. 16, to Saturday, Jan. 21.
CareFest is a service-based initiative where volunteers adopt projects, such as painting and fixing homes for those who can’t afford to or are disabled.
Organizers said attendance was poor at planning events for the event originally to be held in September.
“Several did express wanting cooler weather. This is an election year which may have hindered participation,” organizer Norman Blanton said. “After prayer and talking with the leadership team, it was decided to postpone the event.”
There will be a Carefest meeting scheduled in October for those interested in planning for January 2017. That date, place and time will be sent soon.
Those interested in helping, including church groups and companies, can contact Blanton at Norm.Blanton@verizon.net. For more information, visit CareFestUSA.com.
Fun Fact: Last year, over 100 CareFest projects were accomplished in Hillsborough County.
