Thanks(GIVING) Back to FXBG

Local Non-Profit Highlight with 516 Project Ministry

By Stephanie Stewart November 16, 2017

This is the time of year we get to reflect back on what we have been blessed with for the year, be thankful for what we have and look forward to setting goals and resolutions for the next year. Here at Macaroni Kid Fredericksburg, we are thankful that FXBG has some awesome community partners to spread joy throughout the community.! This month's local non-profit highlight, 516 Project Ministry does just that in our local area. 516 Project, Inc is a local Christian based 501c3 non-profit construction ministry. This awesome ministry was founded on Matthew 5:16 which says: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. 


Their mission right here in the Fredericksburg region is to help homeowners in need of repairs that are unable to afford or have physical barrier to completing the repairs on their own. Through partnership with area churches, localities and businesses they are able to have volunteers help the residents by fixing leaky roofs, repairing damaged floors, fixing plumbing, painting, building handicap ramps, yard clean up, house cleaning and so much more. 516 Project is a 100% volunteer organization.

If helping out more in the community is something on your bucket list for the year, now is the time to get involved! There are a couple of ways that you can help.
