(Le Mars) — A local church, along with a youth group from Manitoba, Canada are assisting with a construction and painting project in Le Mars. Pastor Ken Vander Ploeg of the Calvin Reformed Church of Le Mars is overseeing the project. He says the “Prairie Project” identifies families of limited means, or who are physically unable to make needed repairs to their homes. The group focused its attention on a home located at 315 2nd Avenue northwest, and belonging to Steve and Jan Sneller.
