Guilford First Youth Help Build Green

GUILFORD (5/14/2013) -- First Congregational Church of Guilford, Inc.

During their April mission trip to Johnstown, Pennsylvania, members of the First Congregational Church UCC of Guilford's Pilgrim Fellowship spent a number of hours putting a new roof on what will be the Greater Prospect Store Co-Op, which in addition to providing fresh-made foods will house community gardens, a coffee shop, a laundromat, and an education center for low-income residents of the area. The new building will be one of only six in Johnstown built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, reducing energy consumption, water use, and construction waste in landfills.
