Why Do You Volunteer?

I Volunteer & Donate Items Because….

I was homeless once and there were kind people who set up my house like you all do for these families. They said they were setting up the home for Jesus and I was entrusted to care for it! It resonated with me … I developed an attitude of thankfulness for everything I had as I used it to cook, eat, clean, sleep, sit, and lay. It was my desire to give back in the same way I was taken care of! I am still entrusted with his possessions, the finances he has given me and the souls he has woven into my life. It is my prayer that they will bake for the glory of God and take care of these things like they belong to Jesus!

– Agape House Volunteer

I’ve had a heart for the homeless for over 10 years. I grew up in a home of 9 people and remember always being hungry. The first of the month we always had plenty, but toward the end we would run out of food and other essentials such as toilet paper and we lived in a home. Agape house is a blessing to all ages and families. They assist in helping to restore them physically, mentally, and spiritually and to get them on a road to self sufficiency. Agape House is a light that shines into a family’s darkness to give them Hope. The LORD has blessed me with so much that I am honored to help those who are struggling and hurting.

Volunteer Spotlight

Service Day Sponsored by Lowe’s

Thank you for your ongoing support over many years!

In addition to them being instrumental during the poinsettia campaign each November and helping us as we honor our donors and supporters throughout the year, they have continually donated goods needed for renovations to our nine-unit apartment complex. Lowe’s has generously donated washers, dryers, hot water tanks, and much more!

On a cool Saturday morning, Lowes recently brought a strong team of volunteers and did countless work projects on the Agapeville campus! They filled our new garden shed with tools and shovels. Their generosity is greatly appreciated!

The volunteers built three sheds, moved bulletin boards, installed new mailboxes, moved furniture, covered drain lines, recoated paint lines, and put up new parking labels! Whew, the amount of work they accomplished was incredible.

It was a blessed day, and we truly appreciate you Lowe’s! Thank you!
