On Saturday, April 28th we held our 6th Annual Both Hands Project. For 6 years, we have gathered volunteers to spend a day serving local women who have lost their husbands. These projects often entail general yard cleanup and landscaping, but we also have local businesses who want to give back in incredible ways! We are so excited to share 2 of our 5 worksite projects with you, so that you can see how these ladies are tangibly served through our Both Hands Project.

Read MoreIt is with both sadness and gratitude that the Board of Directors of Chosen for Life Ministries (CFLM) announces the resignation of Mary Lee Herron as our Executive Director, effective April 30, 2018.
