Spring Break
March 4-13, 2011 (Check out the video "I'm On a Roof" below)
Each year college students come to Glenwood to serve in Greensboro for their spring break. They live on cots in Glenwood United Methodist Church and serve in the city. The past two yeasr we have partnered with Housing Greensboro, a non-profit which works with low-income home owners to do minor and major home repairs. The GUPY spring break seeks to incorporate the Biblical foundations of why we are serving, which enables the students to continue growing in faith and practice after they have gone home. The price is usually less than $100 per student, which includes food (since students cook their own meals).
Students from UNC-CH, NC State, Roanoke College, the College of Charleston, Radford, Virginia Tech, Lenoir-Rhyne College, UNC-Charlotte, UNC-Greensboro, Davidson College, UNC-Asheville, and Mary Washington College have come to GUPY spring break over the past 6 years. If your school would be interested in coming to GUPY for spring break 2010, please email Marshall at marshall_benbow@ivstaff.org.
