"We're excited to see churches working together for a common goal (God's glory) a long time heart's desire of ours and another answer to prayer. Most of all you blessed my husband's socks off and for a wife of a pastor who spends 60 hours a week providing for our family because he desires to honor God's call and believes God has a plan for this church your acts of kindness bless me more than I could have asked or imagined." ~ Sanctuary Ministries

"You gave me a new lease on life" ~ CAREfest recipient

"Your church is doing a great service for people needing help" ~ CAREfest recipient

"I was amazed when driving from site to site how many different CAREfest crews were weeding, sweeping and cleaning all over Snohomish. Please thank everyone involved not just the city events but in all the events throughout the city of Snohomish and Snohomish County , what a great program!!" ~ Mike Johnson, City of Snohomish

"I know pulling weeds can be a mindless and tiring task, but all who came to help had a good attitude and a willingness to do all they could. This is what life is about, not sitting in front of TV but being a part of what goes on around us, and others, in different settings and with different groups of people." ~ Elementary School Teacher

"Thank you again! In this day and age, I forget that there are people out there that are willing to help out of the kindness of their heart and aren't looking for any thing in return! I see selfless acts in this industry very rarely and am uplifted and thankful to the Lord for your generosity! The best part of the day was the prayer at the end! We all prayed together and I am amazed at the awe-inspiring strength of these young ladies faith in the Lord! My last recollection of this was my personal volunteering when I was their age! It was such a wonderful experience that I carry with me today." ~ Woodlawn Cemetery
