Opportunities to Serve the Community

Safe@Home Workdays
Most last Saturdays of the month, 10:00 a.m. - 3:00 p.m.
Various locations

We are a family-friendly MPPC ministry working in partnership with Rebuilding Together Peninsula one weekend a month to assist elderly, ill, and needy homeowners with their house maintenance. Our projects are designed to be fun for the whole family (all ages), and completed within 4-6 hours by a group of 8-12 volunteers.  Typical Safe@Home workdays include things like deck or fence repair, installation of handicap grab-bars, weather-stripping windows and doors, painting or general fix-up. Children of all ages are welcome to serve alongside their parents.

Registration deadline is Tuesday before each weekend project so the team leader has time to be in touch with you about details, logistics and location for your project. Register at mppc.org.  Questions? Contact Bob Arrington, 650.619.4997
 

Offer a Helping Hand!
 
The Helping Hands Team puts compassion into action by providing practical assistance to the Open Door Church Mountain View community, e.g., preparing meals, rides to medical appointments, etc.  As Scott Palmbush often says, "We do not have a bench or sidelines at Open Door Church Mountain View – everybody gets to play!", and this is a simple way to “get in the game” and make a difference in the lives of others within our community!  We utilize a web-based community, Lotsa Helping Hands, to communicate needs to those who have signed up to offer help as needed.  If you would like to be included in our on-line community to be alerted as needs arise, please contact Angelyn Knab, aknab@mppc.org.


Teach English to Local Day Laborers!

Open Door Church Mountain View's Service Outreach Team invites you to bless Spanish speaking day laborers in our community by helping them learn English! The Day Worker Center of Mountain View helps laborers legally obtain short-term day jobs, such as landscaping, yard work, painting, and other home repairs. Volunteers are needed to help day laborers learn English. For more information on the Day Worker Center, please visit www.dayworkercentermv.org. If you would like to learn more about volunteering, please call Patricia Markee, 650.493.6242.
