Why are we serving here?
When ForColumbia sends volunteers to the homes of individuals in our community, they have the opportunity to love and serve their literal neighbors. We serve at the homes of people in our city who, while they own their property, could use some help maintaining it. We seek, in particular, to serve our neighbors who are elderly, single parents, battling health issues, or disabled.
While the yard work we provide may not seem like much when compared to some of the things families face, our desire to give our time and energy to help others is powerful. It sends the message that they are seen and valued. This is why we believe your time will be well spent serving at one of the residential locations we have identified this year as ForColumbia 2026 serving sites.
What can I expect?
Volunteers at these homes will work on a variety of projects, both indoors and outdoors, doing a variety of things.
ForColumbia 2026 Volunteer and Site Leader T-Shirts
What should I bring?
- Your site leader will provide more details on any common tools that would be helpful for you to bring, but if you have a chainsaw, you can bring it; do let your leaders know. Some homes will need this power tool.
- Please consider bringing garden gloves and garden hand tools in preparation for working outside. We also encourage sunscreen and/or a hat if it’s sunny.
- We encourage all volunteers to wear closed-toed shoes.
- Be sure to wear your #ForColumbia T-shirt!
Can I serve here with my children?
Many homes provide a great way for you to serve with children, but this is a question we will answer about your specific location, should you be assigned to serve at a home.
