Glenmary Farm
The Glenmary Group Program or the Glenmary Farm is a retreat like service immersion program for College and High School age students, which offers them an opportunity to serve Lewis County Kentucky. Which is a very poor county located about two hours from Cincinnati, Ohio. We do this by building houses for those of low income, working with the elderly, working with the mentally and physically handicapped, and other odd jobs in the community. The volunteers are also exposed to local culture by going to a multitude of different cultural sites, such as a bluegrass\country site, local speakers on the problems facing people in Appalachia, a different type of church service, and a picnic for local kids. We finish everyday with a reflection guided mostly by the volunteers.
