Gaines Chapel seeks rehab funds Gaines Chapel AME Church, 801 South Georgia Parkway East, has started a fund-raising campaign via GoFundMe to help rehabilitate and restore the historic church.
The church, which has been idle since the coronavirus pandemic struck in early 2020, is among the oldest in Waycross dating to the late 1800s.
Since 2020, the building has faced flooding and shattered windows which have allowed the elements to take a toll on its structure. The goal is to get the building rehabilitated and restore services.
To make a donation, visit the church’s Go-FundMe page titled, “Helping Restore Gaines Chapel AME Church.”
The church also is accepting in-kind donations and volunteer aid. Contact Jay White through social media.
