I filled out a visitor's card and a member of the church called me to thank me for coming. I think the Church has been a welcoming place for Burmese Refugees, who seem to be incorporated into the life of the church. Not quite sure what sort of Baptist Church it is. They also have Godly play for preschool age kids on Wednesday evening after their Wednesday dinners. The Church is not liturgical like Methodist, Catholic, or Episcopal churches. More liturgical than non-denominational churches I have been to.

Being able to give back without hearing others complain is so rewarding. You end up seeing how big your coworkers hearts are when sweating is not a thing to them because making these food bags is more important.

They have pretty much any type of project that you can imagine. You can be an ongoing volunteer on one specific project or you can volunteer on just one day. Each year they host Hands On RVA Day which is Richmond's largest non-profit day of service with tons of projects going on all around the city. I first participated in this a year ago and this is what made me fall in love with this organization. They have a passionate group of employees that inspire you to volunteer and and are very experienced and organized. My favorite project that they offer are the DIY projects that they post every month. This allows you to collect items and make something for a nonprofit that they need. For instance this month, the project is to make zip lock bags of toiletry items to donate to a non-profit in the area that works with the homeless. My friends and I gathered the supplies and assembled these kits in under an hour. If you haven't had a chance, create a profile on Hands On's website and figure out a way to get involved.
