Operation Clean Sweep recap!

Thanks to the 175 volunteers that showed up for “Operation Clean Sweep”. It was an amazing time as we took care of 75 lawns and developed relationships with folks in need that are connected with Brother Bill’s Helping Hand.

Extra special thanks to guys who scouted out the lawns, made assignments, provided extra equipment, and cooked burgers on the Chuck Wagon.

Here’s a note from Suzanne Griffin, the Executive Director:

Today was absolutely magnificent. Our seniors loved having their yards done, but I believe even more than that, they loved making new friends and seeing so many people who really care about their lives and their needs.

As one of our seniors said, “It is wonderful to see so many Christians out serving the Lord. Plus, my husband was thrilled because he has been looking at our shrubs that needed trimming for months and just didn’t have the energy to do it himself.”

This afternoon words of praise and thanksgiving are coming from households all across West Dallas as our neighbors look at their yards and thank God for all of the Watermark members who sweated and toiled for them.

Thank you for making it all happen and thank you for partnering with Brother Bill’s Helping Hand.

We had 174 volunteers who signed in the morning and I don’t believe that counts the Chuckwagon cooking crew or those who might not have signed in. Again, thank you for a wonderful day!

Blessings,

Suzanne
