Huge turnout for service program's volunteer day

EVERETT – In a county-wide event, more than 500 teens and adults gathered Oct. 20 to work on over 52 service projects.

The event, called CityServe, was a collaborative effort put on by several local churches and organized by Brian Muchmore at Youth For Christ.

"We've been getting great reports back from our partner agencies," Muchmore said.

According to reports from Catholic Community Services, more than 21 service projects were completed during the day. Many of the projects involved the elderly and disabled who could not clean or take care of their homes by themselves.

"These are services that Catholic Community Services provides, but they get so many requests that it's hard to do even 21 in a month. Catholic Community Services was ecstatic," Muchmore said.

Though the focus was on service projects, the added benefits were seeing young people give back to the community and, Muchmore said, developing an attitude of contribution as well as building bridges.

"There are multiple benefits the day gives to the kids and adults alike, specifically between people in need and willing volunteers in the local church," Muchmore said. "It builds bridges between churches and social services who take care of people in need and it build bridges between churches and those who participate. Hopefully, it builds bridges between people and God, because they see that people really do care for them."
