TOUCHING MIAMI WITH LOVE (HOMESTEAD)

Since 1995, Touching Miami with Love has been serving our communities children, youth, and families with holistic programming as we inspire, educate, and empower. Our impact can be seen in the lives of those we serve.

  • PAINTING CLASSROOMS

    As ServeWeek volunteers, we have an incredible opportunity to make a positive impact in our community.

    One way we can do this is by volunteering to paint classrooms in local schools that need a little tender loving care. Painting classrooms is a simple yet effective way to improve the learning environment for students and teachers.

    Volunteers can expect to spend some time prepping the space, including cleaning the walls and removing any old paint that may be chipping or peeling. Once that is done, we can dive right in and start painting.

  • 10 or older; if between ages of 10-16 years old, must be accompanied by adult

  • Disposable painting materials like a roller with a pan, a brush, rags, drop cloth your water and snacks, and any comfortable working clothes.

  • Park in front of building

As followers of Christ, we are called to demonstrate His love for humanity in tangible ways. One powerful method is to show the love of Jesus to our community by providing 60-80 families with one free wash and/or dry, a small amount of detergent and softener, and a Gospel quote inside the bag, along with information about our church.

InterVarsity Campus Ministry-Peace Feast

Our world is frustratingly divided. But can we build bridges together while recognizing real differences? Yes! InterVarsity Christian Fellowship initiated the Peace Feast at FIU (PF) in collaboration with other faith leaders on campus. PF is an opportunity for Muslims, Jews, Hindus, Christians, and people of other faiths to come together by sharing a delicious meal and having real conversations about the things we care about. It’s not a formal dialogue, nor a place to argue. It’s a time to share from the heart, listen respectfully, and gain new friends. That’s a recipe to change the world!

  • The volunteers will participate in welcoming FIU students, serving food to the crowd, and facilitating the faith discussions to hopefully make lasting connections with people not following Jesus.

  • You'll have to be 16y/o or older to serve.

  • Park in Gold Garage. We will meet at Graham Center, The Balrooms are on the north side of the building
