HillSpring Church holds "Serve Day 2020" in Sand Springs with 200 volunteers
/
HillSpring Church held its sixth annual Serve Day Saturday in Sand Springs. Approximately 200 volunteers dispersed around the city to assist in 26 community service projects.
Some of the projects were held at the church campus, like installing a new volleyball court for the youth. They also cooked more than 50 meals for Kirkwood Senior Complex.
One crew built a new wheelchair ramp at an elderly woman’s new home, and helped her paint several rooms inside the home. Another elderly woman needed help clearing out a dilapidated shed that had to be removed.
A massive dead tree was removed from one yard, and the church stopped and volunteered to help another family trim up a tree that had been growing over the sidewalk.
HillSpring partnered with A-1 Rental & Supply to rent equipment for their many projects, and partnered with Sandite Nutrition to provide meal shakes for their volunteers. They also partnered with Sand Springs Community Services to provide the food for Kirkwoods, and helped out at Sand Springs Care Closet.
At the Salvation Army workers cleaned up an overgrown section of fencing behind the facility. They had a similar project at Charles Page High School along the fence on 10th Street near the high school track. At Limestone Elementary they painted the basketball goals to bring them into the black and gold “Sandite” color scheme.
A team of youth volunteers partnered with the American Legion to clean up the headstones of veterans at Woodland Memorial Park Cemetery and also decorated the community in chalk art.
One crew painted office space at the Sand Springs Chamber of Commerce business incubator downtown, and another cleared out overgrowth in Case Community Park to improve the river view along the walking trail.
Several local government officials helped out with the projects, including Sand Springs City Council members Brian Jackson, Mike Burdge, and Phil Nollan, State Representative Jadine Nollan, and Sand Springs Superintendent of Education Sherry Durkee.
In addition to their big annual event, HillSpring continues working in the community throughout the year with smaller serve days, youth events, and free meals for the needy.
HillSpring meets Sundays at 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. with youth services on Wednesday nights at 7:00 p.m. The church is located at 8801 West 41st Street South. For more information, visit them online at http://www.hillspring.tv/
