God is moving within Neighbors! This past weekend, Nicole shared her testimony about how He placed a desire to serve the unhoused on her heart, and shortly after she was made aware of Neighbors. In the several short months since then, she’s become an invaluable member of our volunteer staff and has helped us grow so much. We love hearing stories about how God is working in the personal lives of our volunteers and are excited to hear more in the future as He continues to move hearts!
We’re slowly building our volunteer base but are always in need of more help, so if you’d like to join one of our teams, you can find more info and submit an inquiry here. We’re also continuing to collect as many hand-written notes as possible, to fill both our regular kits and prepare to start offering take-home kits for people to keep in their cars and hand out (whenever we get enough funding to do so!). If you’d like to write notes for us at whatever frequency works best for you, please fill out this form.
We already have such an excitement for what y’all will do next month!
You can check out the full gallery from today here.
