I am in a small life group at our church. We just recently started giving each family a month and they choose a service project. This last month we went to the coin laundry and paid for peoples laundry. People were really surprised, and dumbfounded, they wondered why we would do this. I remember for the short time I lived in an apartment how frustrating it was to save quarters to do laundry, I thought this was a great way start for our group to get out there and help out. I was trying to think of what I was going to do, and God put this in my heart. I would like to collect any toys, hand me down clothes, and shoes to give to the shelters during November and December. I know many parents get rid of and go though a lot of what there kids have before they buy for Christmas, so I am putting this out there now. If you want to help out and live near the Augusta Georgia area, let me know if you would like to donate anything for this project.
What a wonderful thing! My hubby is definitely the more "missions minded" in my family. He and my oldest 2 kids help at a local food pantry once a month. So great to get them helping others.
