Branch members volunteer on an individual basis to help the needs of their community.  Blood drives were organized by one Sister.  The former Branch President & Wife help weekly at the “Crisis Center” in one of the local Baptist church. One Sister has completed a photo index of the Union Cemetary. She has completed indexes for 14 other cemetaries in the Indian creek Township to the local Brehm Library for their Geneological Section.

The Branch is small so they did not do a large project.  The combined effort show they serve their community well.
