Portland, Ind. – First Bank of Berne donated $500 to the Love Thy Neighbor Project. Pictured (l to r) are Tracy Carpenter, First Bank of Berne Branch Manager and Corina Treon, Vice President of the Love Thy Neighbor Project.

The Love Thy Neighbor Project's mission is to serve God and our community through acts of kindness by preserving and beautifying homes for those who cannot. The Love Thy Neighbor Project strives to make repairs on homes that are not getting accomplished because of financial burdens. They desire to gather the community to bring structure and safety into homes despite the cost.

The Love Thy Neighbor Project would not be able to bring these services without donations and fundraisers to fund these projects. All proceeds collected for Love Thy Neighbor Projects are allocated specifically for the project. Mustard Seed Remodeling volunteers the time and labor. The Love Thy Neighbor Project serves multiple counties around Jay County.

If you or someone you know is struggling to come up with finances to bring safety into the home, fill out an application to be selected by Love Thy Neighbor Project. Anyone wanting to make a monetary donation, contact Corina Treon at 260-251-5685. Learn more about how to get involved by following Love Thy Neighbor Project on Facebook.
