A Roanoke outreach program has many needs
It's hard to imagine less fidgeting in the pews of any church than you could see among the 65 teenagers sitting in the Wednesday night service at Acts 2 Ministry, a nondemominational Christian outreach program in downtown Roanoke.
Quiet teens? Some shushed each other when occasional whispers surfaced. These are inner-city kids who meet Acts 2 staffers at their high schools and middle schools before deciding to show up at 406 Luck St. There's a connection going on here that anyone who has volunteered in outreach programs will tell you is hard to make with teens.
Acts 2 has many needs to fulfill its programs, including more equipment for its computer lab, where youths are helped with their homework. Used machines in good working order are ok. A digital camera is needed too. And if you can drive a van to pick up kids after school on occasion and transport them downtown, you're a valuable asset at Acts 2.
