Rooted:Serve
Rooted is dedicated to serving and assisting women, children, and families within our community and surrounding communities who are in need or in crisis. Christ is our beautiful example of what servanthood looks like. At Rooted, we believe we are called to serve one another and to love our neighbors as ourselves (or better yet as Jesus would). Rooted:Serve is designed to create and participate in opportunities within the community to serve others.
All of our services/resources are free.
