Garlock, Freedom Life’s event coordinator. “We’ve got a number of projects in the community in Chester and Lancaster counties.” Those who would like to participate in the event may register to volunteer at www.freedom.life/serve-day or by downloading a Serve Day app. “Most of the projects are more appropriate for teenagers and above,” said Garlock. “On the app there are age filters. We did intentionally schedule a couple of projects open to children, and those are highlighted in the project descriptions. The app will direct you to search for a church, and you can find our church and the specific projects. The Serve Day app is free for anyone to download who wants to join in the project.” Since Freedom Life has three local See Volunteers pg 6
