What is City Serve?

City Serve is about ONE church working together for the good of ONE city. Thousands of volunteers unleashing unprecedented compassion in partnership with local schools, city parks, food banks, blood banks, children’s hospitals, children’s homes, homes for seniors, homeless centers, first responders, juvenile centers and so much more!

City Serve isn’t an event, but a movement of people who declare in word and action, “We love OUR city,” and are committed to seeing it flourish.

LOVE OUR SCHOOLS DAY 2026

Love Our Schools Day is an annual hands-on, community-wide volunteer event where individuals, families, churches, businesses, and nonprofits come together to serve local schools through meaningful projects.

Join us on Saturday, September 26th as we bless the campus of Betz Elementary through acts of service, connection, and care. Serve projects will include: weeding, spreading mulch, trimming rose bushes, and power washing. This is a great serve opportunity for all ages and stages. Get involved as an individual looking for a meaningful way to serve, or a family or small group wanting to serve together.

Snacks and water will be provided. We recommend you bring sunscreen, work gloves, sunglasses, sun hats, and any extra pruning tools or shovels you may have.

Let's show God's love in action and help create a welcoming space where students can thrive!

About Love Our Schools Day:
Love Our Schools Day is coordinated locally by Within Reach, a unified network of leaders in community, business, and the church who share a commitment to seeing our city — and its people — thrive. Love Our Schools Day is part of Within Reach’s Village School Partnerships initiative, and Thanksgiving’s ongoing partnership with Betz Elementary is a part of this bigger movement.
