From Missouri-
A youth group from Kirkwood, Mo., hoped to escape the Southern heat while working in Winona this week.
On Tuesday, they sweated under an unusually cruel Minnesota sun.
The 24-person team from Grace Episcopal Church is in town for its annual youth mission trip and is building a home at 269 Chatfield St. with the help of the local chapter of Habitat for Humanity.
The structure will become home to the family of Tiffany and David Mitchell, who hope to move in before Christmas. On Tuesday, the Mitchells helped with the construction — Habitat requires homeowners spend 300 hours working on their new house — while getting to know the Missouri group, like Carly Wooldridge, 18, who has participated in the mission trip for the past four years.
“The families are so deserving of what they get, and they really put a lot of work into their home,” Wooldridge said.
