HAZLETON, LUZERNE COUNTY- A Hazleton car detailing business is getting a helping hand from a South Carolina church group.

Members of First Baptist Church of Georgetown are in Hazleton this week. They're reaching out to the community through the Hazleton Community Church.

Sunday, the group spruced up Bob Yevak's business. "When you see what's going on in the world, all you hear is the bad stuff on TV, I mean it, all bad stuff -- but this is part of the good stuff, there's a lot of good things happening out there," said Yevak.

Pastor Keith Wall said, "It's a good work for the community in this difficult time in which we live economically. And to see a business thriving and to help them thrive and to help the community with that, I think, is a good way not only to help the community and this business, but to share God's love in the community that way."

The group will hold bible clubs in the Hazleton area this week and continue with outreach projects.
