Church Partner Potential Group Projects with 441 Ministries

Below is a list of potential group serving projects. Thank you for considering jumping in! It is so helpful when volunteers take on these projects, because it free up our core staff and program team to focus on the relationships and programs they manage each day! These items have to get done with our without help and we try to be good stewards of the financial resources of the ministry by not hiring out this work.

Please note, just because a project is listed here does not mean it is still available. If you have any questions about these or want to take one of these on, please contact Josh Horn at josh@441ministries.org

  • We really need some help cutting the grass and weed whacking at our community garden. We have one lawnmower available, but you will need to transport it a few blocks from the garage to the community garden. It would be best if your group brings a couple push mowers and the tools necessary to tidy up the garden. It’s a large plot with lots of narrow spaces between garden beds, and some hills and bumpy areas.

    Urgency: August through November, we need a team every 1-2 weeks.

    Supplies Needed: Lawnmowers, weed trimmers, hedge clippers.

    Duration: With a team of 6-8 people, a cleanup day can take a couple hours.

  • We could really use some help keeping the grounds clean and clear in the fall. This would include raking leaves and moving them to the curb, carrying sticks, weed pulling and whacking, trash pickup.

    Urgency: October/November/December (contact Josh to schedule a specific date)

    Supplies Needed: Rakes, shovels, trash bags, leaf blowers and extension cords (we have outlets), hedge clippers and trimmers, etc.

    Duration: With a team of 6-8 people, a cleanup day can take a couple hours.

  • Our Kids Ministry space sees a lot of activity, from weekly Saturday Kids Clubs to Bible Studies, community meetings, and special events. We need ongoing cleaning to keep the space in good condition. This is a great serving project for a smaller group, a family, or can be combined with another serving project. This is also a good project for a group looking for an ongoing serving project, where you can set up multiple dates and serve monthly or quarterly.

    Urgency: Specific Friday evenings or Saturday mornings throughout the school year. Contact Josh to schedule a date.

    Supplies Needed: Cleaning supplies and equipment for cleaning floors, carpet, walls, floorboards, windows, surfaces/counters, tables, and chairs. The space has a small kitchenette, a bathroom, a hardwood floor area, and a carpeted area. We have a vacuum cleaner for the carpeted area.

    Duration: With a team of 3-4 people or one family, cleaning this space takes 1-2 hours. With a larger group, cleaning takes less than an hour.
