Five years ago, when Love Cedar Valley began, it began with kindness outreaches only. A kindness outreach is something like a free giveaway at an intersection or possibly a free carwash or a litter pick-up at a local park.
Today, LCV includes a service project arm that is gaining momentum. This year, several churches organized several projects in the community that began that morning.
There were a good number of groups working on flood recovery at homes still in need from last summer's devastating floods in our area. The picture below is that of Heritage Farm in Hudson. A group spent the day mending fences and cleaning up flood debris from the acreage.
Other work included planting a garden at one of the middle schools, painting and organizing at Alternatives Crisis Pregnancy Center, bike trail clean up, work at a preschool, help at transitional home for homeless moms and kids, work at the local Boys n' Girls Club, and more.
It's great to watch how churches are looking for ways to serve and significantly impact our community for good. The city has also been very appreciative of the work done this day by the Church. And isn't this just the kind of relationship and partnership we should have as we work with God to redeem and transform His community?
