idea of working locally. “There are home repair needs here, and we have these skills,” said Cotton. “(Trent thought), ‘Let’s start working more regularly here in the community.’” Home Helps began serving in York in 2007.

From York, the leap to Lancaster County was natural. Davis now works out of The Candy Factory building in downtown Lancaster several days a week. According to Cotton, the executive team had a vision of expanding into a number of counties, with Lancaster being the first. “Right now we are in York, Lancaster, and Adams,” explained Cotton, adding that Lebanon, Dauphin, and Cumberland are in line to get offices next.

One of the initial connections Servants Inc. made was with CrossNet Ministries in New Holland. “In 2021, we completed five projects in New Holland with CrossNet,” said Cotton.

Meredith Dahl, executive director at CrossNet, said the organization is grateful to partner with Servants Inc. “Recently, a handicapped-accessible porch was placed on the home of a family in our community,” she said. “The family shared with us … that they observed what it means to show love and care every time they interacted with the (Servants) staff. We are grateful for this partnership and opportunity to meet needs and show God’s love in ELANCO.”

“Servants is unique because a lot of ministries do the camp model,” said Cotton. “We are a year-round model,” he noted, adding a full-time project manager was scheduled to begin working for the ministry in Lancaster County in January 2021, with Thursdays and Saturdays slated to be the primary workdays. Cotton noted that the organization is looking for local volunteers. Skills like roofing, plumbing, and carpentry are bonuses but not required. “We put an emphasis on building relationships,” Cotton explained. “You don’t have to be a professional carpenter to sit down and have a conversation. Anybody can serve.”

School districts where its services would not be duplicated.
