HOUSING PROVIDED. Come spend some time in beautiful Chatham County, North Carolina! Wander our miles of hiking trails, relax at Jordan Lake or take part in one of our quirky town events. Pittsboro has a diverse and accomplished artistic community, so there are plenty of small shops and independent galleries to explore- and the locals are the nicest folks you’ll ever meet! We’re a string of sleepy farm towns that have seen massive growth in the recent years, now we need your help to build stable, affordable homes for the people who have lived and worked here for generations. We will provide lunches on workdays and a big banquet-style dinner at the end of the week, but groups are responsible for other meals. Housing is provided by Tyson’s Creek Baptist Church, with separate spaces for male/females.
