Kids Club

Our love for children grows out of our love for Jesus. Friday Night Kids Club and Summer Kids Discovery Club are two different ways we love and serve local children.

Growth in this Place

This short documentary gives a brief history of how Good Works got started and then profiles four Good Works staff that we first met when they lived in The Timothy House.

Good Works Gardens

In 2024, Good Works planted 7 gardens at the homes of those we serve through Neighbors Helping Neighbors. From Coolville to New Marshfield we assisted seniors by planting and nurturing food and friendship.

Appalachian Immersion Internship

The A.I. Internship is a 4-9 month residential opportunity. Interns live in the Good Works Hannah House and serve in most of the Good Works contexts.

Building a Community of HOPE Since 1981

THE MISSION OF GOOD WORKS  …

Good Works exists to connect people
from all walks of life with people in poverty
so that the kingdom of God can be experienced.

THE VISION OF GOOD WORKS is to create and sustain a COMMUNITY OF HOPE with and for people who are struggling with poverty and homelessness in rural Appalachia. As a Christian community, we are seeking to grow in our love for God and for our neighbor. We offer contexts through which people in need can experience biblical hospitality, access practical assistance, and share their gifts / abilities with others. In doing so, we facilitate ways for people from all walks of life to build relationships of love and service with their neighbors.

• Empowering and transforming lives
• Providing shelter & community for people experiencing homelessness
• Offering life-changing opportunities to love our neighbor

Celebrating 43 years!
