How to use Facebook to help people in your community

Facebook is an amazing network where you can connect with friends and family from all over the world.

Facebook What is also great about it is that you can use it to help other people as well. For instance, Heather Smith, part of our Outreach team at New Life, used Facebook to help a person in need recently. Not only did it help this person, it actually brought a new opportunity for the Church to get to know many other people in the community.

So in this episode I take to Heather about why she choose to use Facebook to reach out to this community member and how that has brought about a whole new outreach to the community that is growing.

ACTION STEPS:

  • Share your story! If you have used Facebook in some way to help your neighbors or community, share it with us and on social media using #ymsidekick when you share on Twitter.
