There can be no more eloquent witness or testimony to faith than simply “doing unto others” in the name of Christ. It is in the lived, experienced and reflected upon service to others that our teens truly learn who it is that is their neighbor and what it is to be transformed through loving that neighbor.  
Service opportunities that are on this page can be applied towards your ministry service hour goals (hours required for within CCOP), even if it is an opportunity that goes off site. Please check back often for new opportunities as this page will be updated as things become available.

MEALS ON WHEELS CARDS
Today, the average life expectancy is at a record high of 79 years. As we get older, even the most independent among us may experience physical declines or financial hardship that strips away our independence. Add to that an increase in geographic mobility of our families, and the result is millions of seniors left behind, hungry and alone.
Let's help those in isolation not feel so alone! Decorate a card, write a note, or draw a picture that will be delivered locally with the Meals on Wheels organization! For each hour you work on this you receive one hour!
