STAND OUT. FOR GOOD
Virtual Volunteering during #SocialDistancing
Mar 24, 2020
We’re all about volunteering and Giving Back here at Altar’d State and if you are reading this, we know that you love Giving Back as well!
You have partnered with us many times in the past, whether it be a Mission Monday campaign, an unexpected need in the community or a cry of help from across the globe…you’ve been there with your hands and your heart! While we are all living a “new normal”, we all still want to do the right thing and jump in where we can to make any situation better. Our Altar’d State Family is “virtually volunteering” as we hope and know you are too. We’d like to share some of our thoughts of what we all can do to bring that smile, answer that need virtually and it doesn’t cost any of us anything but a little time!
