Don Smillie, left, area coordinator for JustServe.org, presents a $1,000 check to Crosslines Director Tom Faulkner to help fund its food pantry. Crosslines, a member organization of the Council of Churches of the Ozarks, distributes roughly 1.7 million pounds of food a year, and it’s mostly staffed by volunteers. JustServe.org, which recently launched in the Springfield market, was created by volunteers for organizations needing volunteers.

Helping Hand
College of the Ozarks students, faculty and staff visit Belize in November to provide health and educational assistance. At Billy White Primary School, the group led Bible lessons and workshops on making hygienic supplies, such as toothpaste and soap. They also held conferences at Oasis of Blessing Church.
