We serve as an outreach to Effingham County, Georgia, and are specifically interested in providing an avenue for individuals, small churches, and organizations to make a BIG difference in our county.
Our goal is to identify and provide opportunities to utilize grass-roots efforts and strength, in small but unified numbers, to bring to bear large organization- style results for the smaller entities and individuals.
Many times individuals or even smaller churches will feel there is a need but not know where to start or how to make an impact with such small numbers.
Why are We Doing This?
Honestly, it’s simple. This community outreach is being started by a member of a small congregation in the area. Tiny churches often feel like their contributions won’t make enough of a difference or that they need to give to a larger organization (and thus lose ‘ownership’ of their part of the outreach) to make much of an impact.
More often than not, they will choose to forego involvement rather than feel like they are wasting efforts or just contributing to an outreach with no real ownership of it.
Hopefully, this will solve a bit of that conundrum.
Our desire is to help individuals and smaller organizations contribute in smaller portions to a larger overall outreach, retain ownership over their portion, and reap the benefits of making a large difference!
We also envision this website as a hub for information on community needs (from larger non-profits and county-wide organizations) that would allow individuals and groups to keep their finger on the pulse of volunteer opportunities in Effingham. This will assist the individual (maybe a high school senior needing volunteer hours for scholarships) or groups (small churches and businesses) with awareness and information contained within an easy one-stop location.
We will:
- highlight places and organizations within Effingham county that need assistance
- provide community projects that anyone can join in with, feel ownership of, and utilize for their church, family, or organization
- help match needs with resources and people
