Community Service – Serve Those In Need on Your Church Tour

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.” (Matthew 25:35-36)

Community service tours are a meaningful way to share your faith (and sometimes some muscle!) with others. Charitable visits and community service activities can take place in diverse locations, including:

  • Local churches
  • Schools
  • Homes for the elderly
  • Orphanages
  • Hospitals
  • Clinics

We Have Contacts for Community Service Projects Around the World

With our network of worldwide community service tour contacts, Casterbridge can arrange for your church or youth group to help with church building projects, Habitat for Humanity, or disaster relief.

Here is a sampling of specific ideas for a few destinations:

Italy

  • Work a half-day at the Refugee Center in Rome (sponsored by the American Episcopal Church)
  • Earthquake relief and rebuilding near L’Aquila (in central Italy).
  • Work with the homeless at the Community of Sant’Egidio in Rome.

France

  • Volunteer at Association La Rue, a recreation center for underprivileged children in Paris.
  • Work at the Association des Paralysés, a residence for seriously disabled adults in Paris.
  • Assist archeologists as the excavate Lastours, an 11th century village near the Mediterranean Coast
  • Donate time to assist sick pilgrims journeying to Lourdes.

Ireland

  • Engage with Irish youth in an ecumenical community service project.
  • Plant trees with the Irish Woodland Trust.

Latin America

  • Serve children with AIDS at an orphanage in Peru.
  • Help build community facilities in remote villages in Guatemala.
  • Feed children who walk two hours a day just to attend school.

In some locations, groups can focus on other kinds of outreach. Groups may visit local schools to share their faith and culture, assist those in need of basic hygiene or provide health care lessons. The possibilities are endless.

“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40)
