- Volunteering
* Get involved in your community by volunteering with us at various locations.
- Outreach
* Going out into the community and reaching out to those who are in need. Share the love of Christ through caring.
- Community clean up
* Dedicating one day a month to going into the local cities and cleaning up everything from yards to trash. You can help maintain these areas by adopting a
neighborhood. You would then have an open relationship with this community and will be our contact source for finding out the needs they may have over time.
- Hot meals on cold days
* Getting together and showing how much we love everyone in our community is HUGE for Pray It Forward. By providing something as small as a warm meal on a cold day we are blessed by blessing others. It not only fills someone's belly, but we have the chance of filling them with love and joy by smiling and welcoming them back for other events, even offering them a chance to volunteer. We can find out what their needs are through these conversations, and find ways to meet the needs that are within our ability.
- Helping hands for Homeless
* Providing basic necessities for those who are without means. Toiletries that they can use with their living conditions, as well as information for where to go for help through their situation, and for all sorts of needs (housing, food pantry list, soup kitchens, health care, mental health care, shelters, recovery classes, support groups, etc). We pray for them and their needs. Our goal is to bring hope.
- Children's Hospital Hope Team
* If you are on this team, you are all about helping others feel healthy. When you are in the hospital stuck in a room day-in and day-out it gets boring, old, and even discouraging, but we as a team can get together for craft days and make gift bags for these children to keep them happy and focused. We can sing worship music and pray with them. We can dedicate our time to pray for each individual child and their condition. We can ask God for healing and favor.
- Food drives
* Being a part of our food drives is amazing! By offering your time and service, you will be a vital part of feeding families in your community all year round, not just the holidays. No one should be hungry.
- Clothing drives
* Old clothes, new clothes, shoes, even sporting equipment. We all have clothes that are in great shape that we just can't fit in to or went out of style for us. So why not share your clothes and spread the word to friends and family, to donate all clothes to Pray It Forward so we can share with those who are in need. Let's create a way of providing clothing, for everyone from infants to elderly!
- Toy drives
* TOYS TOYS TOYS.... Every child deserves a brand new toy for Christmas and on their birthday. Let's come together and share with the community what we are doing by going out and collecting gifts for these children and teens. This is showing love and hope to families who may fear these special days simply because they can't provide at this time.
- Holiday helpers
* On holidays like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, we most likely share these days with our families, celebrating with fellowship, food, and good memories. Unfortunately, there are some people who don't have that privilege and are alone, cold, and hungry. Take time to simply plate-up your leftovers, or even prepare a separate meal that we can hand out to those on the streets or to the families who may not be able to prepare a meal on these occasions. This is love. This is what being part of the community is all about and this is what Pray It Forward would like to see across the world.
