Volunteer: The Church Studio Care Circle: Volunteers Wanted

Hi everyone! 

We’re creating a small group of volunteers (we’re calling it our Kindness Collective) who will help us care for our community in meaningful ways, sending cards, flowers, and thoughtful notes to our members, donors, and friends who may be going through a hard time, facing health challenges, or experiencing loss.

This is a simple but powerful way to remind people that they’re seen, loved, and not alone and it truly reflects the heart of what The Church Studio is all about.

If you enjoy encouraging others, writing notes, or just being part of something that brings comfort and care, we would love to have you involved.

Please let me know if you’d be interested in joining this group. jessica@thechurchstudio.com

Thank you for helping us love our community well.
