A Silent Night Surprise in Times Square | #LightTheWorld
The holiday season is a time for giving, and what better way to give than by serving others? The Light the World initiative by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints encourages people to transform Christmas into a season of service by doing things that Jesus did, such as feeding the hungry, comforting the lonely, visiting the sick and afflicted, and showing kindness to everyone.
If you’re looking for ways to participate in the initiative in Fayetteville, NC and the surrounding area, here are some service projects that you can consider:
Donate to the Fayetteville Urban Ministry: The Fayetteville Urban Ministry is a non-profit organization that provides food, shelter, and other services to people in need in the Fayetteville area. You can donate money, food, or other items to help support their mission. For more information please visit: Fayetteville Urban Ministry (fayurbmin.org)
Volunteer at the Second Harvest Food Bank: The Second Harvest Food Bank of Southeast North Carolina is a non-profit organization that distributes food to people in need in the Fayetteville area.
