By Devon Callens JLSLC’s Community Council Provides Comfort, Joy, and Service This year, the Community Council has been busy finding ways to impact our neighbors while maintaining COVID protocols to keep everyone safe. They worked to create opportunities for members to serve in person and from the comfort of their own homes on several occasions. They began an ongoing project to provide care bags to the patients receiving treatment for Cystic Fibrosis in the hospital to provide comfort and a bit of joy. They continued their service projects with a done-in-a-day garden clean-up at Wheeler Farm, a Legacy Project of JLSLC. Ten women spent a warm July day gardening so that visitors to Wheeler could enjoy its beautiful scenery. When weather permitted, they could take their passions back outside with trail clean-ups around the city. Journal Making for the Rape Recovery Center became a wonderful project for months when things were in transition and the council wanted to offer hybrid options. Some members chose to decorate journals from home, while others could contribute at headquarters. The Community Council also made decorations for Harmony Home Health, served lunch with the Volunteers of America, collected back-to-school items for schools in need, and much, much more.
