Helping others is at the heart of the ARK project. Visitors of the ARK homepage
can search and login to their church website and view the needs of their members. Those wishing to fulfill a need will click on the "Click Here to Help” link, where they
will be asked to identify themselves and offer a brief description of how they can help. This information will be sent to the church leader or administrator, who in turn assigns the skill to the need. All personal information remains private and confidential.

The potential list of needs will be as varied as it is limitless. Some members may require help with simple daily tasks, such as taking out the garbage or tending to household chores. Others may need assistance in larger scale projects that require more time and effort.   Maybe there’s a single mom in your midst who doesn’t know how to teach her son to throw a baseball, or an elderly person who needs a ride to the doctor, or a young couple who would love advice on saving for a home. Maybe there’s a college student who could use help moving into her first apartment, or a widow that could use a helping hand washing her windows, or a recently laid-off worker who could use help polishing up his resume.

There are countless needs out there that, up until now, have had no way to be met.  Can you balance a checkbook? Can you hang a picture frame? Can you throw a spiral? You might not think of these everyday activities as volunteering, but for the people around you who can’t do them, your ability and your willingness to help is exactly what they need. You’d be amazed how a simple act of kindness can change lives,!

So. . .Come on!  Let's share Jesus's love with someone TODAY by doing an Act of Random Kindness!
