- Make and/or deliver a meal
- Run an errand or take someone shopping
- Visit someone in the hospital or recovering at home
- Provide transportation to an appointment or to church
- Provide 30 minutes of light housework

We seek to consider all aspects of what a person may be going through, and it is our prayer and hope that service provides an open door to help meet deeper needs that may exist - spiritual and material needs. If you have a heart for hospitality or service, please consider this opportunity.
