Projects
Make quilts for new mothers, for nursing homes, for LDS Social Services, for Safe Houses, etc.

Clean and polish the pews at Church--check with custodian and Physical Facilities Representative (PFR)
Read stories to children in a hospital or at a library
Make tape recordings of your favorite books for the seeing impaired--use several voices (one for the narrator, one for each character) and even add special effects, such as wind, sirens, etc.
Pot plants for women in a nursing home near Mother's Day
Clean the ward building or just the kitchen
Serve at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen
Take baskets of food to needy families in area
Have a service road rally--See Service List for ideas (go around to various homes--less active families, people who need help in the ward, non-member friends--and perform at least one act of service on the list. Have a person at the home sign your list before you go. The group who collects the most signatures wins a tasty treat or gets to have dessert first)
Teach people how to read or write better
Clean up a road
Clean up a local park
Collect or make toys or clothes for needy children. Or gather broken or worn out toys and fix them up for needy children.
