Why am I serving here?

One of the ways ForColumbia strives to love and serve our neighbors is by serving those non-profit organizations that are actively working every day in the lives of people in Columbia. St. Raymond’s Society is one of those organizations working quietly but powerfully every day for the good of those in our community. This organization comes alongside women who choose life for their unborn child, supporting them during and after the pregnancy. This past January, St. Raymond’s Society moved into the former Ronald McDonald House, greatly increasing the space they have available to help pregnant or new moms in hard situations. They need help in a variety of ways organizing their new space. This is why we believe your time will be well-spent serving here.

What can I expect?
