On Serve Saturday’s we focus on the local community, to face and meet real needs. We collect and deliver items, assemble goody bags to express kindness and care for first responders and school teachers, make crafts & banners, assist to provide food, help the homeless by preparing meals (300 sandwich/bag lunches for the shelter), care for needs of hurting children, single mothers, families, and we add projects as small groups express their passion to meet needs.
We strive to make a positive difference in our world as we partner with other organizations, like Montgomery Serves, Germantown Help, Seneca Heights Transitional Housing, Women’s Coalition, Men’s Shelter, Sheppard Pratt, Asbury Village, Zumba, County Highway Cleanup, and more.
This Serve Saturday—March 4, 2023—we will package 10,000 meals to impact our globe by feeding hungry people in Haiti. You are invited to join our change-maker teams as we collectively serve to make the world a better place.
