Charity seeking volunteers to help needy, elderly, ill

BERLIN—Spring arrived this week and The Worship Center is seeking registrants for its second annual SERVEFEST on March 29, a daylong event where church members and local residents join to help community members in financially strained situations.  
The Worship Center, located at 10736 Ocean Gateway, announced it is seeking individuals in the Berlin and Ocean City area who may be in need of assistance.  Teams of volunteers will span out throughout the community to help with yard work, washing windows, painting, checking and replacing smoke detectors, and light home repairs, according to its Web site.
The center is seeking the names and needs of elderly, ill or financially strapped individuals who need help with a small one to two-hour attainable project.
Requests for help will be collected until March 22. Requests can be submitted by telephone at 410-641-3325, or by mail to The Worship Center, 10736 Ocean Gateway, Berlin, Md., 21811.
Although The Worship Center is a faith-based organization, it also invites anyone in the community wishing to assist during SERVEFEST to contact the church to sign up as a volunteer.
More than 60 volunteers provided food, services and comfort to approximately 150 individuals in Berlin and Ocean City during the first SERVEFEST last year.
