From our Dreaming Sessions it was requested that we as the online community do something collectively to give back to our local communities, which has led to our first ever, biannual Outreach Saturday!
The idea is that wherever you are, on December 9th, you do something to give back. You can find a local organization or do something independently.
We’ll have an online community zoom call to share and debrief our experiences. The zoom will be Sunday, December 10th at 10:15am CST (between Sunday services.) The zoom link for the debrief call is:
If you don't know where to start and need some helpful pointers, here are some ideas:
Donate to Holiday Food Drives
Serve Meals at the Food Bank
Volunteer at Your Local Senior Center
Organize a Community Clean-Up
Sponsor a Youth Sports Team
Share Your Pet With Others
Schedule a Volunteer Day With Your Colleagues
