Where to start?

The best way to find a need is to look and ask. Look around your community and see what is going on. There is no lack of need in our world.What sports leagues are playing, what’s broken, who’s hurting, what community events are happening, what do you see going on in your community? You can look atcommunity calendars or drive around, but if you’re attentive you will see a need. It does not have to be a big need or even an urgent one. It can be something simple like cold water on a hot day, a hot meal to a hungry family or a kind word to a lonely person.  It may be something small that is easy to do. It may be a big job that nobody has been able to do, but you can pull it off if you rally the troops. The best way to serve is find a need and meet it. You may be surprised at what you find if you look hard enough.
