I was surfing news sites yesterday like I typically do during lunch and stumbled across a Charlotte-based project called "Project Get Off Our Donkey." Besides having a witty name (taken from Luke 10 and the parable of the Good Samaritan), Project GOOD is hoping to make a meaningful impact in our city by pointing out areas where people are in need of God's grace and unconditional love and then giving actionable suggestions for volunteering and helping meet those needs. The seven areas that Project Good is focusing on are:
- Human Trafficking
- High School Dropouts
- Homeless
- Abortion
- Prisoners
- Refugee
- Elderly
After watching several of the short videos, I felt a need to act. I'm not really sure how much of a difference one middle-aged man can make, but I'll do what I can. I also urge you to visit the Project Good website and, if nothing else, become better informed about the every day struggles people are facing in our city.
