Why are we serving here?

One of the ways ForColumbia strives to love and serve our neighbors is by partnering with our city in ways that put us in touch with the more marginalized individuals within Columbia. This year, we are serving significantly in housing managed by the Columbia Housing Authority by sending hundreds of volunteers into public housing areas, including Patriot Place, housing specifically for our nation’s veterans. We are cleaning up neighborhoods and organizing landscaping and other beautification projects, providing opportunities for individuals to connect and work alongside each other. When we give our time for the benefit of others, we send the message that they are valuable.
