Do I need to register?

No. Registration is not necessary. Just show up at 8:30 a.m. in the Wooddale Church gym ready to serve! You may pre-register ahead of time by filling out our Pre-Registration form. 

What kind of work will we be doing?

There will always be a variety of activities to choose from. You can check out which sites are offered in the next event and read the site summaries to learn more about the specific projects offered.

What if I don't enjoy or can't do physical work projects, is there still something I can do?

Yes! Each event will have a variety of sites, some that include manual labor and some that are less physically demanding or more relational in nature.

Is there an age limit? Can my kids come?

LOVE IN[DEED] is family-friendly and we encourage families to come and serve together. Some sites do require a minimum age due to safety concerns or the nature of the work. However, we ensure that some of the sites will be open to people of all ages.

How should I dress/what do I need to wear?

Come dressed in weather-appropriate clothing. It is recommended to wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty, as several sites will including painting, cleaning, and other work projects. Comfortable, close-toed shoes are strongly recommended. Sun-screen, a hat, and bug repellant are also good to bring/wear especially in the warmer months.

Do I need to bring anything?

You can show up just as you are and find a place to plug in. Occasionally sites will recommend work gloves or other tools. If you can bring any such supplies to use, it will be appreciated by the sites but is not necessary to participate. The additional optional tools list for each site will be available closer to the date of the next event. Supplies for activites will be provided by the organizations we work with.
