At Sun Valley, we believe we are never more like Jesus than when we give and when we serve. Serving opens our eyes to the needs in our world and reveals how God uses our individual stories to connect with others.
If you are part of a Group, we encourage you to serve your community together. If you are not yet in a Group, click here for more information.
Below are some ways you can help meet practical needs in your community.

Is there someone in your neighborhood, a family member, or a coworker who comes to mind who could benefit from a day of service from you, your family, or your group (landscaping, household chores, grocery shopping, etc.)? Is there a single parent in need or a family with foster children you could help support? If someone who would benefit from and appreciate a day of service comes to mind, we encourage you to reach out and bless them!
