This month, First Baptist Church of Kearney youth group spent a day working at Community LINC. They have volunteered here before, and both times I have hosted this group, I have been impressed with how eager the kids are to work!
Many teenagers prefer to hide out in their houses behind a computer monitor or a t.v. screen, but this group is proof that there are many young people who choose to venture out and work to make improvements in their communities.
In one day, they cleaned out a large flower bed, worked on our playground, trimmed bushes, moved furniture, and hosted a barbeque for the residents and staff to enjoy! The barbeque was a success. Volunteers and Community LINC families played basketball, drew with sidewalk chalk, flew kites, ate together, and got to know one another.
We are so grateful for all the support from our community.
If you are interested in providing more groundwork or playground improvements, please contact volunteer@communitylinc.org.
