A single dad is in need for a ride for outpatient surgery and for someone to babysit his daughter. A woman takes him to the hospital, his daughter home with her, goes back and picks him up, and calls another to help out as needed.
A person is home from major surgery, and person after person takes meals to help out the family.
A family needing a little love and care are invited over for dinner, giving way to "famly" time to meet the needs of others.
A couple goes to the Food Bank to give of their time, but tells no one about it; because that's how they roll.
Individuals giving of their time on a regular basis helping out the pregnancy resource center.
A small group help clean up the yard of an elderly person for free.
A small group goes to the Nursing Home bringing good cheer in song and just showing love by giving of time.
A couple of guys give of time doing some mechanic work for the mechanically-challenged.
A man goes and helps people frequently with major appliance fixes.
A college graduate gives two years of her life helping get God's story into the language of people that don't have it.
