SUMMARY:Great Day of Service 2026
DESCRIPTION:Help your neighbors. Find your community. \nGet ready to roll up your sleeves and make a difference! National Presbyterian Church is hosting the Great Day of Service 2026 on April 18\, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. \nWe’re on a mission to show the love of Jesus to our city and the world—and we need your help. Whether you’re a seasoned volunteer or new to serving\, there’s a place for you. Even out-of-area members and friends can participate. \nWe’ve planned a variety of projects to suit every interest and skill set. Each opportunity is designed to serve people in need and make a meaningful impact in our community and beyond. \n  \nRemote Participation \nEven if you’re miles away\, you can still make a meaningful impact: \n\nDonate toward the purchase of additional meal kits through the registration form. Every gift—no matter the size—helps provide more meals. Our budget currently supports 17\,000 meal kits\, but with your help\, we believe we can reach 20\,000 or more.\nShip nonperishable food\, clothing\, or diapers directly to the church. We will include your items in the Great Day of Service collections.\n\n  \nOff-Campus Activities: \nBuild with Habitat for Humanity\nBe part of something meaningful and make a lasting impact in our city. We’re not just constructing houses—we’re building hope\, stability\, and brighter futures for families in need. No experience is necessary; every pair of hands makes a difference. \n  \nServe at Central Union Mission’s Men’s Shelter\nHelp with the day-to-day upkeep of the shelter and serve a meal. Your time and care will support men experiencing homelessness by providing both practical assistance and meaningful hospitality. \n  \nVolunteer with Hometown Connections\nExtend warm hospitality by welcoming refugee families. Partner with Solutions in Hometown Connections to participate in “Reading Hour” with children and help families practice English. \n  \nOn-Campus Activities \n  \nPack Meal Kits with Rise Against Hunger\nJoin our mission to combat global hunger by packing nutritious meal kits. No special skills are needed—just a willingness to help. This is our most family-friendly project\, welcoming participants ages 5 to 95+. Last year\, meal kits were sent to Madagascar following a devastating cyclone. \n  \nDonate Food and Clothing\nClean out your closets and cupboards! Donate nonperishable food and gently used clothing to support individuals and families facing hardship. The Central Union Mission distributes these items\, and the UDC Student Pantry provides healthy snacks to students. \n  \nDonate Diapers\nSupport families in need by donating diapers for local mission partners serving the D.C. area\, including Little Lights\, Young Lives\, and Central Union Mission. \n  \nHelp Collect & Sort Donations\nAssist with receiving and organizing donated diapers\, food\, and clothing. Volunteers are needed to help ensure all contributions are sorted and distributed effectively. \n  \nAssemble Care Kits\nPut together “Care Kits” for individuals you may encounter during your daily commute who are in need. These small but meaningful packages can offer comfort\, encouragement\, and essential supplies to those experiencing hardship. \n  \nMark your calendar\, gather your family and friends\, and help make the Great Day of Service 2026 unforgettable. Together\, we can make a lasting impact. \n  \nTo sign up\, click the Volunteer button below. \n  \nSee you there!
