Link to Summary of the 2025 Stake Day of Service
Our annual Day of Service for our stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will be held on Saturday Sept 06, 2025. The objectives of our day of service are aligned with those of the National Day of Service that takes place in mid-September and is an opportunity to provide service in our community as disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Projects are:
Food/Fund Drive - We will have a food/funds drive, combined with the Fort Collins Stake, with the Food Bank for Larimer County, who provide food and supplies for those in need through their food shares and approximately 100 other initiatives and agencies throughout the county. Click this link for much more information including most needed items, ways to donate online and at the buildings, slots to serve at the Food Bank, and more.
Other projects on Sept 6 are 9AM-12PM unless noted. Click on the link for each project for more information and to sign up :

Habitat for Humanity Loveland - Cancelled - not enough volunteers - will look to schedule an opportunity in the future . In March, the Church was invited to join other faith-based organizations to help staff one Saturday each for a build of a home for a needful family. 10 volunteers (ages 16+) were asked to help with this build in process in Loveland. Since a build is more complex, timeframe is 7:30 AM - 2:30 PM (or as available), but for those who have done a build before, it has been a memorable experience. Click on link to see details and register. (10 needed-0 filled)
Pinewood Reservoir -Larimer County Department of Natural Resources Cancelled for not enough volunteers
If Sept 6 does not work for your family or group, we invite you to participate in the on-line funds drive for the Food Bank for Larimer County, or please look for another opportunity to give service in the community or your neighborhood, including those offered on JustServe.org
Thank you for your past, present, and future service in our communities, and we look forward to a great Day of Service.
