Testimonials
As a senior citizen, I
appreciated the help of the community outreach. I could
not do some of these things myself anymore. It is truly
a good service to persons like me.

I have had some work done with this
program and I appreciate having this program in our
community. As a senior citizen with a house to maintain
alone, it is a comfort to know one can call on them to
do small jobs for you. Just recently I had some wall
board re-stapled on a small place on the garage ceiling,
a quarter round removed, under counter kitchen light
replaced and a seam sealed on a basement wall. This
program has given me peace of mind to have these small
jobs done. Thank you community outreach.

Have found in the Shelby County
Community Outreach group, a willing hand. Because of
health problems I needed help with seasonal maintenance
and minor repairs at my house. I felt blessed to have a
trustworthy handyman enter my home and he added a
Christian presence to a worthwhile endeavor. Thanks,

We live in
Kirkman, IA.
We want to thank you for the following jobs in our
home. You helped with shower curtain, learn to run rug
doctor to clean carpet, helped put up curtains, fixed
the central vac, cleaned gutters, put up window shades.
But the most important thing they were able to pray for
our needs, minister to our hearts! We thank them very
much.
PS. For fixing garage door and
putting in furnace filters.

First of all my husband and I thank
you and your crews for coming to our home in
Portsmouth to fix it up. We
found ourselves in need of help to hang drywall and tape
and mud the seams. Through the generosity and Christian
spirit of the SCCO group, our upstairs was drywalled,
taped, and the first coat of mud was applied. We will
remember the kindness of their actions and the goodness
of their hearts forever. I would urge everyone to find
it in their hearts to contribute money to this worthy
organization. It is truly one of a kind. How fortunate
we are to have a group of people who are willing to help
others. They will always be in our prayers. May God
bless this organization and all the people who are a
part of it.
In Christ's love,

It’s been about two years or so
since my family was introduced to the people of SCCO.
We were in dire need of help and were close to losing
everything. Our home was literally falling apart. We had
been struggling to make it financially after my husband
had become disabled, and we were close to losing our
home.
SCCO
has helped us with so many repairs, from replacing
floors, carpeting, replacing the water heater, repairing
plumbing, painting, electrical repairs, installing
doors, fixing windows. They have been there for us
through times that were so overwhelming that we could
see no light at the end of the tunnel. We were shown the
love of Jesus, and given hope and comfort. They have
improved the quality of our lives, and made us feel
wanted and cared about. I couldn’t believe that complete
strangers had reached out to us, and it still is amazing
to me. It brought me to look at my spiritual life, and
it brought us together as a family.
The Lord put it in our hearts to
seek out His plan for our lives. Being surrounded with
so many believers doing what the Lord called them to do,
was a blessing all its own. There are so many people who
we don’t even know, who came to us in our time of need;
we praise Jesus for putting you all in our lives. The
mentoring and counseling that we received literally
saved our family and helped restore the balance in our
lives. We called on them to help us through some very
difficult times, and they were there every time we
needed them.
SCCO and all the individuals who
have given of themselves to do the Lord’s work have
changed our lives. Every one of you have given us a
priceless gift, you’ve shown us the love of Jesus
Christ. We thank you all so much for being there to
answer our prayers. We look forward to helping SCCO
reach out to others and give back to others what has
been given to us.
Thanks Be To God,
B. & R .and family Harlan, Iowa
