By encouraging young families to be engaged in this event, there is a whole new audience that can be tapped into. Kids can bring excitement and smiles to both recipients and volunteers, and a love for service and community engagement can be fostered and encouraged in them from a young age. For the parents, providing places to give back and exemplify servanthood for their children is a big positive draw, and they also have the potential to be discipled into a longer commitment to the Salvation Army or other service-based organizations.Mon, 18 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://media.journoportfolio.com/users/477748/uploads/0a0c989c-6dfa-4e11-a4f1-6738274c7fe9.pdfhttps://dylanvanderleest.journoportfolio.com/articles/the-dusty-dirty-breaking-down-glendale-apartment-complex-holds-refugee-families-from-central-africa-and-afghanistan-who-do-not-get-along-the-kids-get-into-fights-the-teens-are-forbidden-from-datin/The dusty, dirty, breaking-down Glendale apartment complex holds refugee families from Central Africa and Afghanistan who do not get along.
