Operation In-As Much and UCPSC teamed up together on May 2nd with several area Lutheran Churches to target UCP of South Carolina homes for their Operation In-As-Much mission.

Operation In-As-Much was a one-day community service blitz that involves more than 150 volunteers on multiple projects in the area. There were four teams of ten volunteers who built two wheelchair ramps, a huge wooden patio deck, painted inside walls of four homes, planted flowers, and tackled other projects in the homes.

UCP of South Carolina is so grateful for the kindness of wonderful community groups such as the great folks involved in the Operation In-As-Much service mission!
