What is Project Elevation?
Project Elevation is not an event; it is a culture. We want to infuse the DNA of Jesus to lovingly serve the people of our communities by finding and meetingthe needs of those around you. We are actively pursuing the lost, the forgotten, the poor, and as many local projects we possibly can to share God’s love and change lives through these simple acts of kindness. Project Elevation is currently organizing a list of community service projects and 10,000 hours of volunteerism in an effort to raise community awareness in helping overlooked people in overlooked places. In short, we want to see lives elevated in a practical way!
As spring approaches in a season of new beginnings, Project Elevation raises awareness to help overlooked people and overlooked projects by partnering with local non-profit organizations and tackling projects in need of volunteers. In an effort to motivate our citizens to give-back to their communities, an overall sense of accomplishment and unity will also lead to thousands saved in tax-payer dollars.
