Past and Future WorkFests


WorkFest 2011

WorkFest 2010
More than 400 college students and short-term Housing crew leaders descended upon eastern Kentucky for WorkFest–CAP’s annual home repair and building blitz.

WorkFest 2009
Because of the generosity of donors to Operation New Hope and the tireless service of our volunteers, WorkFest 2009 changed the lives of more than 20 eastern Kentucky families.

WorkFest 2008
Over the course of a month, more than 400 college students from 43 different colleges repaired 21 homes throughout eastern Kentucky. They donated 19,624 hours of their time to help deserving families and individuals in Appalachia, which equals $189,567.84 worth of services. A huge thank you to the students who participated – they made it happen!
