Hey, Grace Church!
Here are some prayerful and practical ways you can help 441 Ministries in this season:
Spring Cleaning/Maintenance Projects
I could really use some help with a number of projects around the properties in the next month. We need volunteers to replace some gutters, move old appliances to the trash, clear out and organize our basement, etc. We also need some handy folks willing to help us refresh TWO apartments - that might include drywall, painting, carpeting, cleaning, etc. These could be perfect projects for a small group to tackle in an evening or over a weekend. Anyone that is interested can contact me directly and I can coordinate project days!
Volunteer Orientations
We are going to offer monthly volunteer orientations so people can learn more about 441 and find ways to serve. These last about an hour and a half, and we'll try to offer zoom options as well.
We have an extensive list of volunteer serving areas, and a sign-up page for folks to register for an upcoming volunteer orientation here. We'll keep the dates updated for future orientations!

Kids Camp
We are looking forward to the return of Kids Camp this summer, and we are actively recruiting volunteers. We need folks interested in committing one day a week during the summer to come down to the neighborhood and help us run Kids Camp (the program is 11 am to 1 pm, but volunteers are there from 10:30 am to 1:30 pm). We'll have some info meetings soon, as well as training. Anyone that is interested can sign-up for a volunteer orientation or contact me directly and I can keep them on the communication list.
Cafe Operations Director
We are hoping to hire a new supervisor for New City Cafe that would focus on the operations side of things. If you know of anyone that might be a good fit and interested, have them check out the job description and apply here:

Volunteer Orientation at YOUR Church
If it's helpful, I'm always willing to visit you to provide an update on the ministry and help people figure out ways they can get involved. I can bring along Jaime, our new Mentorship and Teen Outreach Director to share about what's happening there and how people can get involved with teens and mentoring! Just let me know if that interests you.
Please share with those who might be interested in getting more involved. Thank you!
Joshua Horn
Executive Director for 441 Ministries
