"Just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my
family, you did it to me." Matthew 25:40
At Westminster, numerous mission programs and projects draw us together as faith
community. Take love into the community by serving food, sharing carpentry
skills, or using your God-given skills and talents.
Check out the following opportunities to volunteer your services. Even a few
hours of your time can make a world of difference to the success of a project.
Outreach Opportunities
Community Blood Bank
Volunteer to give blood once a year or on a regular basis. To make an
appointment, call the Community Blood Bank at (402) 486-9414. When you make your
appointment, request your donation be credited to the Westminster donor list.
Friendship Home
Serving Lincoln and the surrounding area, Friendship Home
(friendshiphome.org)
offers shelter and support for battered women and their children. You can help
close the door to domestic violence.
Gathering Place
The Gathering Place -- located at 1443 E Street -- is a south-central Lincoln
family support center. Westminster members and friends help serve a hot meal on
the second, third, and if needed, fourth Friday of the month. Volunteer to serve
once a month or have your name placed on a calling list when volunteers are
needed.
Habitat for Humanity
Assist low-income, Lincoln area families become new home owners. Volunteer to
serve on a work crew when a new home is under construction in the Lincoln area.
Other volunteer opportunities include donating services, building materials, and
lots; preparing and/or serving a meal and refreshments at the construction site;
participating in special events and fund raisers; and volunteering to serve on a
Habitat Lincoln committee.
Lighthouse
The Lighthouse strives to raise youths' (ages 13-18) self-esteem in order to
lower their participation in risk behaviors. In striving toward this goal,
Lighthouse provides a safe and nurturing environment for teens through programs
addressing their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual needs.
Tabitha Meals on Wheels
Drivers are always needed. Volunteer to transport, using a personal vehicle, 8
to 10 meals prepared by Tabitha Health Care Services. Each trip involves
approximately a two hour time commitment to deliver and visit with each
recipient. Your efforts help support a ministry of compassionate caring by
promoting the dignity, independence, and health with a nourishing, hot meal.
Tom Osborne's Teammates
The Teammates program matches an adult with a student for an hour per week. The
mentor and student meet at school. It has been proved that mentoring can change
young people's lives.
