September 7 Service Projects | September 8 Service Projects
Off-campus service projects on September 7
Three exciting off-campus opportunities are available on September 7, God’s Work Our Hands Day! Take advantage of this incredible chance to serve others and make a difference! Registration is required to participate in these service projects.
Texas Ramp Project
The Texas Ramp Project builds wheelchair ramps for individuals who cannot leave their homes. The build on September 7 at 2334 Burnet Street is the perfect opportunity for 6 to 10 first-time volunteers to spend a couple of hours contributing to this noble cause by building a ramp for someone in need.
Those interested in participating in this service project can register by clicking here or in the narthex. For more information about this and other upcoming ramp builds, contact Spike Hubenak at spikehube@sbcglobal.net.
Habitat for Humanity
Everyone is invited to volunteer at Habitat for Humanity for God’s Work Our Hands at 13904 Judge Diaz Lane, Von Ormy. If you are 14 or older, you can help with construction by volunteering between 8 am and 3 pm.
Another way to contribute is by providing lunch from 11 to 11:30 am. Those interested in participating in this service project can register by clicking here.
Children’s Bereavement Center
We will support our mission partner, the Children’s Bereavement Center of South Texas at 205 W Olmos Drive, from 10 am to 12:30 pm on September 7 by cleaning their therapy rooms.
We are looking for 20 to 25 volunteers, and the CBCST will provide all the cleaning materials and a list of tasks for each room. Children aged 6 and above are welcome. There will be an age-appropriate project for younger children who cannot clean.
The first hour will be a valuable learning experience. It will include a tour of the facility by CBCST’s volunteer coordinator, Benjamin Sanchez. He will explain the Center’s mission and how their therapy program works. Afterward, we will break into groups to complete the cleaning.
Those interested in participating in this service project can register by clicking here or in the narthex.
