The Community Assistance Team (C.A.T.) is an outreach ministry that provides small, handyman home repairs & maintenance services for friends and members of Agawam’s Faith Community.

Common jobs include:

  • Light Carpentry

  • Electrical Fixture Replacement

  • Plumbing Leaks

  • Drywall repair

  • Painting

  • Window Cleaning & Repairs

  • General Maintenance such as raking leaves, pulling weeds, and trimming shrubs

Those receiving help are asked to pay for any necessary materials and to prayerfully make a donation to the C.A.T. ministry. No job is too little, but some may be too big! Click here for a printable work request work form or email us if you need one sent to you.

During the Pilot Phase of the program, work will be accepted for::

  • Elderly + Widows/Widowers + Single Parents associated with First Baptist Church of Agawam.
  • Special requests that come into the church
  • Selected non-profit organizations (including Agawam FBC)

Volunteers Needed: In these tough economic times it’s more important that ever to help our neighbors that may find it difficult to complete simple household repairs and maintenance that many of us take for granted.  You don’t have to be a master carpenter or a Picasso, just someone who is able to put in a few hours on a Saturday to work with other volunteers to help our neighbors in need. If you’re interested and able to volunteer please contact email us or see the sign-up sheet on the church bulletin board.

*** Next Work Day is Saturday, September 18th. ***
