Saturday, September 12 / 7:00 AM
Yard work on First Choice's east campus. Early start, cool air, and you're done before the day heats up. Bring a weed eater and/or hedge trimmers with you.
Tuesday, September 22 / 8 to 11 AM or 1 to 4 PM
Repair the playground, run a weed-eater, prune, lay pine straw, set parking ties, haul debris. The afternoon crew picks up where the morning crew leaves off.
Tuesday, September 22 / 8:15 AM
Bring homemade snacks and serve them. Students start arriving at 8:30, so everything needs to be set by 8:15. You'll be
finished well before the morning is over.
Tuesday, September 22 / 9 to 11 AM
Sort and log patient files for records storage, pull expired medications off the shelves, organize medical supplies, and help wherever Molly Stone — MOM's executive director and an FBC member — needs an extra set of hands.
Tuesday, September 22 / 9 AM, 10 AM, or 11 AM
Sit down and talk with our ESL students. Kelda's advice: ask good, simple questions and give everyone at the table a
chance to answer. These students are practicing English — and they need to hear it spoken well.
Tuesday, September 22 / 9:30 AM to Noon, 1 to 3 PM
Work alongside our Caring Center director, Rick Brenny — sorting, stocking, and handling whatever the day brings. You'll also meet the neighbors who walk through the door.
Tuesday, September 22 / 11 AM
Provide lunch for 12–16 men in First Choice's Certified Dads program. Sign up with your name and phone number, and you'll

Help with Oak Grove's September fall craft — one class on the Assisted Living side, one on the Independent Living side.

Greet players and families, referee, and keep the games moving. Futsal is soccer played on a smaller court with a smaller ball — fast, loud, fun.
Tuesday, September 22
Put together a “happy bag” for one of the 20 workers and leaders at our CLC — a thank-you for the tender, loving care they pour into our children week after week. We're aiming to keep each bag around $10. The best part isn't the bag, though: write a note or card of encouragement to go with it. Sign up with your name and phone number, and Carol or Judy will follow up with details.
Thursday, September 24 / 8:45 to 11:15 AM
Keep Thursday morning running for the students in our Conversational English class — watch their children, welcome
people at the door, or set out and serve the snacks.
