Kid's Serve Day


In late November, we had about fifty people representing ten different groups in the warehouse to help us prepare things for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Of the seventy-five volunteers, fifty of them were kids between the ages of five and eighteen, ten of them were college students from Samford and ten were parents.  This group came to CSM for a "Kid's Serve Day" that involved sorting and storing canned goods, writing letters to our families in need and helping with our food ministry!  At the end of it all, we had them search every square foot of our 80,000 square foot building for a four foot long stuffed dolphin.  One of our youngest of the group, a girl scout from Troop 646, finally found the dolphin after this group of seventy-five searched the warehouse for the better part of an hour.  At CSM, we love to serve, we love to have fun and we love to have fun serving! When you volunteer with us and help us to serve our city, we do our best to serve and play with joyful and loving hearts.  Thanks to all of the kids, families, troops and small groups that came to work with us this past month!
