The yearly day of service partnered church members with 15 local organizations to perform various tasks.

“At the Portland Promise Center, we offered education about spaying and neutering pets,” said coordinator Patty Groot. “We revamped the teen room at the Boys and Girls Club and gave outfits to the homeless at Fourth Avenue United Methodist Church.”

Other recipients included Operation Brightside and the Cabbage Patch Settlement House.
