In addition to the ongoing projects at the Fellowship, the Social Action Committee keeps our members updated about volunteer opportunities within our community. There is no greater sense of joy than that which is found in the act of serving others.
If you’re active in a particular organization or agency and wish to share that activity as an option for others in the Fellowship to serve in our community, contact us with the details so we can get it added to this list.
On this page, we typically list ongoing efforts rather than single events.
