Just Serve

This year, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints created a new program called "Just Serve", which is an amazing resource! Anyone can go to the website JustServe.org and type in their zip code to find service opportunities in their area. If you only have time to serve during a specific time slot each week, or if you have a specific skill set, you'll find something for you at Just Serve. If you are running a non-profit or a church group and need volunteers or donations, you can post on Just Serve and anyone can sign up to come and help. It's such a fabulous way to connect churches, communities, non-profits, and neighbors in collaborating to help a greater cause, to "Love thy neighbor as thyself". 



2 of our biggest projects at Sew Much Love are up and posted so we can try to get more community involvement in our humanitarian aid! Within hours of the posts being up, we had a couple of emails asking questions about how to get involved! 

It's really a fantastic website--go check it out, type in your zip code, and see what pops up! It's wonderful to see the needs in your area and see how you can be better involved.  Also, every couple of days, they post a "Success Story" about how this program is already functioning so effectively to increase service opportunities. https://www.justserve.org/stories/ They are super uplifting and fun to read! 

Hopefully, we'll have a Success Story of our own very soon!
