Volunteer Appreciation Month calls for a celebration, especially knowing how amazing our volunteers are. Words can’t express how grateful we are for ALL the people who are the hands and feet of Jesus in our church, in our community and around the world. Stop by the Cafe  during the month of April to enjoy special donut holes that remind us just how special you are to Southwood and to those you serve.
