Mr. Rogers isn’t the only one who espouses the blessings of being a Good Neighbor. We love the towns and cities in which our MorningStar communities are nestled, and want to display that civic pride in demonstrable ways.

We see volunteerism within local not-for-profits as another way to honor God through servant-leadership, another way to live out a culture of Radiance.. While there is no shortage of worthy causes with which to align, we favor organizations whose mission is centered on the poor, the neglected and the marginalized.

And whenever possible by the nature of the work, we invite MorningStar residents to join us in these acts of civic service by the giving of their time and talent as well.

Here’s a peek at the kinds of charitable work we find close to home.
