From city to city, community service manifests itself in a variety of ways.
Congregations of citizens find the means to serve their community through the church while others support youth and education by volunteering in the schools.
You will find Habitat for Humanity building homes, food banks and homeless shelters, Boys & Girls Clubs, community gardens, and assistance to senior citizens.
You will also find citizens who attend city council and county commissioner meetings who are sometimes ridiculed or referred to as “trouble-makers.”
The truth is, these are the watchdogs that hold government accountable to the people and assure that individual rights are not infringed upon.
