Standing for Equity in the Roanoke Valley (SERV) has a mission of promoting equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging in the Roanoke Valley. As an organization, we collectively support individuals and organizations in the valley that are trying to better our society.  

Part of that support includes bringing together individuals with various skills and talents that can support others. Are you good at designing a website, helping with legal paperwork, heavy lifting for events, etc.? What support can you give to Black-led organizations in the valley?
