Most people don’t realize that their community is a big reason behind their success. For one, they teach your life lessons every day as well as gaining perspective on what is more important in life. That is to say that you are as good as people you surround yourself with. Like members of your local church teach you how to live in Christ. Since your community members and local church have done well to you, it is time that you give it back to them. By the end of this topic, you will know more ways of getting involved in your community and encourage others to do it.
One way of getting involved in introducing food banks. The problem that most of the community members face or when you visit the local church is food and shelter. Thanks to the existence of food banks as they can help donate and pass food to those who cannot provide for themselves. But you should understand that food banks will require more hands. One thing that you need to ensure that you have enough food supply. Besides, you will also need people to help bundle and package various food items that are donated. The other thing that you will need are people to pass food and build relationships with community members or people of your local church.
Apart from that, we have youth sports. In case you have a love for sports then you should get involved with a local youth sports team. Here you will need coaches, referees, umpires, scorekeepers, as well as league supervisors. This way you will be setting a good example for your local youth and local church. The good thing is that you will witness them becoming leaders of your community several years down the line. Now it is your turn to lead and show them the ropes on good sportsmanship, healthy mindset, and the benefits of hard work.
The next thing is setting the community giveback day. You find that everyone has a group that they are part of. We have groups such as rec softball team, member of a local church group, or a group of lifelong friends that can be used to give back. You will be surprised that there are also other members in your local church group that are thinking of giving back. Setting up a community giveback day will be a great way to fill everyone’s heart and accomplish something big.
The next thing is to donate items. You find that some of the things that are still in good condition that you want to get rid of, there are some people who greatly need them. What you can do is to donate these items to people who need them. One way of doing this is having your local church prepare a list of less fortunate and what they can benefit from.
