Somebody Cares St. Augustine, is a grass roots ministry whose mission is to
provide ongoing demonstrations of God's love to the community through unity
in action. "To let the people of St. Augustine and St. John's county know
that Somebody Cares, because Jesus cares, we God's people care and through
our combined resources proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ to our
community".
For the past four years Somebody Cares St. Augustine has partnered with
Churches, and organizations to put on three CareFests, these are Christ
centered days of community service, last year 26 churches and organizations
brought out over 600 volunteers to go into the community and do 60 projects
that day, and the caring continues all year. Since 2007 Somebody Cares
volunteers have worked at over 200 sites in our city and county being the
hands and feet of Jesus. Through this ministry God has blessed our city by
providing over $250,000.00 in goods and services to the hurting and
disadvantaged among us.
"It has only been through
my faith in Jesus Christ our Savior that I have been able to experience true
serenity the rewards I received in life by simply praying, "Thy will be
done."-David
