Summertime brings groups and individual volunteers from near and far. We love having all the people at the Mission and enjoy making new friends and serving together. Youth groups are traveling from KY, TN, AL, and GA to spend time in our communities and work around CSM. And kids from VBS and summer camps enjoy spending a day at the ministry center learning about what we do and helping us accomplish great tasks! We have 7 staff members who facilitate 4 large ministries and we couldn't do all that God has brought us if it wasn't for the volunteers who answer the call. This summer we have many opportunities and volunteers of all ages and skill level are needed.
Volunteers Needed
- We have 7 community and urban gardens that have started producing fruit, need constant watering, weeding, and harvesting. We are so excited to share the harvest in the feeding ministries and summer camps. Our goal is to share 5,000 pounds of produce this season!
- Construction has started on a new house and we are renovating an existing house. Skilled and unskilled volunteers are needed to construct and then decorate these homes for families in need.
- Are you known for your excellent organizing and sorting skills? We have an 80,000 square food warehouse that is in constant need of being organized. Everyday donated items come in and we want to be good stewards of what has been given. Come help us organize so that we can better serve ministries and churches with much needed items.
- Do you love food and feeding people? This year we have already given out 250,000 pounds of food! Extra hands are always needed to prepare pallets for ministry partners, package up bread, and help facilitate our food distribution. The food ministry operates Monday and Friday from 9am - Noon. Help is needed weekly to organize and sort the donated food that comes in weekly.
- Summer camp is in full swing in our area churches and we are helping with food items, snacks, and volunteers.
- Come learn about aquaponics! The greenhouse is open for tours and we would love to show you how we are growing fresh produce with just water and fish!
