Crooks Memorial Mission Projects

LINK of Hampton Roads, Inc., first introduced the PORT Emergency Homeless Winter Shelter Program to the homeless in Newport News during the winter months of 1993/94. The shelter ended its 16th year of PORT on March 25, 2009.  The PORT program is designed for interfaith congregations located in any area of Newport News to come together to open their parish or social halls and provide food and shelter for individuals or families who would normally spend their nights sleeping on the streets, in cars, or perhaps in empty buildings or in the woods.  Contact Deborah Geise for more information on this ministry at (757) 876-7825.

Navajo 4 Corner Mission
 
The Four Corners Mission is two fold, to provide construction assistance to the Navajo Mission and conduct Vacation Bible School.
 
The construction is performed under the direction of a subcontractor, so previous construction experience is not necessary to join in the fun.
