JUST SERVE AND STAKE SERVICE REPORT
Sister Nancy Hemming and Elder Richard Hemming, our Stake Just Serve Specialists, report that the monthly average number of organizations served by stake member volunteers has increased each year since community service became a stake priority. More members are volunteering in the community and more organizations are receiving service.
The Hemmings are happy to share the impressive amount of service our stake members provide. They are grateful for everyone’s generosity, compassion, and willingness to serve on behalf of so many who need our help. (We are sorry if your service didn’t get recorded.)
Church units participated in 295 projects during 2024-25. The monthly average for projects that members participated in was 25. The monthly average of organizations impacted was 22. We served organizations 267 times.
The use of Just Serve has also increased:
- Total people using Just Serve has increased to 243, an increase of 77 in the last 12 months.
- Ninety-seven service projects were posted on Just Serve in the last 12 months, compared to only 17 the prior year.
- Active users of Just Serve increased from 79 in 2024 to 240 in 2025.
- Last year, as of May 2024, we had 18 active projects available for volunteers. As of May 2025, we have 42 active projects, an increase of 24 projects.
It is our hope that all members will register online with Justserve.org and use it as a means of finding service projects in our areas. It is meant to be a tool, not a program.
