We want our neighbors to know that we are #NLforRVA. Instead of creating new programs to manage we work with our community to partner with great organizations that are making a positive impact that betters our neighbors and our community. We try to coordinate opportunities to serve with these organizations but we encourage to to serve whenever you can!
#NLConstruction
Each month a group of New Life friends, in partnership with Center For Aging, go out to do light construction, yard work, or debris removal from the homes of seniors in our community.
We partner with Hening Elementary, a title one school in Chesterfield County, to provide volunteers in the classroom, library, and cafeteria to help support the efforts of the staff and to encourage the children to reach for the stars. You can volunteer once a week, once a month or once a quarter.

UMFS
For 115 years United Methodist Family Services has been serving our community. UMFS continues serving children, families, and communities throughout Virginia, providing residential treatment and specialized education, as well as foster care, adoption, and community-based services. New Life is a Treatment Foster Care (TFC) champion. We help TFC parents with treats, support, and fill needs as they arise.
For almost 40 years, Caritas has been helping our most vulnerable neighbors break the cycles of homelessness and addiction to reclaim their dignity. They do this by providing effective, permanent solutions to individuals and families dealing with these issues in the Metro Richmond area. New Life is heavily involved with this program from cooking meals, working at the shelter, donating furniture, and more.
CARITAS
This 12 acre Shalom Farms is just a few miles from New Life and does incredible work to help bring fresh fruits and vegetables to those that lack healthy food.

Belmont Church has been running a food pantry since 2004 and serves close to 300 people weekly. You can drop donations off and/or volunteer on Thursdays to pack and prepare donations or volunteer on Fridays to hand out the food. The church is located at 3510 Broad Rock Blvd, Richmond, 23234
