Asheville Relief and Rebuild Spring Break 2025
Help Express the Kindness of Jesus
In late September 2024, over 30 inches of rain fell on Western North Carolina in just a few days, causing floods, destroying buildings, and displacing many from their homes. There has been a lot of work already done in Western North Carolina but years' worth of work remain. Join students from around the country as we seek to follow Christ and help those in need. Come spend your spring break with Cru in Asheville, NC!
COST: $199 for the first 200 registrants, $449 after.
Due to the generosity of ministry partners, we are able to reduce the cost for the first 200 registered participants (whether student, faculty, volunteer, or staff member) to $199. Cost includes housing and meals.
*A $50 non-refundable deposit reserves your spot.*
Home Sweet Home is a 3-minute film taking you inside the lives of those who have lost so much, and how students are responding with the kindness of Jesus.
