Across the Southeastern United States, Volunteers to Provide Humanitarian Service
Thousands of volunteers across the Southeastern United States are expected to donate hundreds of hours of service to the needy and their communities on April 24, 2010. The Day of Service is aimed at bringing relief to those struggling because of the economic downturn. This includes both individuals and public organizations such as schools which have experienced budget cuts.
The Day of Service will involve churches, civic organizations, humanitarian organizations and government agencies. Its goal is to strengthen local communities with meaninfgul service projects that will help those in need, beautify communities, build friendships and bolster the spirits of those who serve and those who are recipients of the services.
The Day of Service, sponsored and organized by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in cooperation with other religious and humanitarian organizations, is in its second year. Last year on April 25, hundreds of thousands of volunteers collected food for organizations that help the hungry, constructed houses, helped families in need by roofing houses and doing other similiar projects and cleaned up the grounds of schools and other community agencies.
