Families Serving Together!!

The Hall Family Shares Their Story of Service

UServeUtah has been collecting stories of service. I would like to share an inspiring story they received about how the Hall Family volunteers together. Heidi, Audrey, and Scarlett Hall had the opportunity to join a friend's church group serving food to the homeless on a chilly November morning. On the drive home, Audrey said to Heidi, "Mom, that was so much fun! But I felt bad for the people who couldn't eat the apples because of their teeth."  That sentiment sparked something in Heidi. To have a child enjoy service but also recognize the challenges that many of our community members face was a critical element to her upbringing. Since then, the Hall family has committed to doing a service project every month -- sometimes large, sometimes small--but something every month. Since that November morning in 2009, the Hall family has logged over 100 hours doing at least one project every month. Just like most families in today's world, they are busy with school, activities, and work. Doing their monthly service project allows them to slow down and do something together. It's an activity they can do as a family and something they can feel good about. "Volunteering together gives us a connection and a dialogue that we can all center on," said Heidi Hall.   What can you and your family commit to? What will you do? What are you passionate about?
