The campaign has been going incredibly well so far and we are very grateful for your generosity and support behind this ministry effort! Although we are celebrating this unique moment in time in our history, we are seeing the tremendous value of this tool and the period of time leading up to camp, and are seriously considering doing something like it on an annual basis.

Thousands of students from Rochester area churches have participated in Flower City Work Camp over the last 40 years. The impact of Work Camp has had a monumental impact on their personal walk's with Jesus, inspired them to adopt service as a pursuit in the lives and have led to amazing friendships. Here is a story, shared by Liudy and Pam Bukys, about the impact FCWC had on their daughter Katherine:

We have seen first-hand the wonderful experiences that happen at FCO's annual event, Flower City Work Camp. While serving homeowners in the city of Rochester, kids do real work, even at young age. The sense of accomplishment and real contribution really builds the kids up. In Katherine's first year (7th grade) she was the only kid on her team who fit under a sink, so she learned to sweat copper pipes. A few years later, she learned how to install asphalt shingles on a shed. We think it had a lifelong impact on her confidence about trying new things. After Katherine's stroke and untimely death, as we did funeral preparations, we knew many people who were ready to make gestures of support, but we struggled with how to channel that — until our other daughter Elizabeth recalled how significant the Flower City Work Camp experience was to Katherine. So we invited people to make memorial gifts to Flower City Work Camp, and that worked out great. Now Flower City remains on our radar for continued charitable giving. For us, it's in Katherine's memory, and it encourages us when we think about how it invites young people to draw close to God and gives them the opportunity to have purposeful personal experiences.
