Serve with Purpose: Make a Difference in Our Community

During Gardner-Webb’s Week of Giving, Service & Prayer, November 16–20, 2026, faculty and staff are invited to put their faith into action through 100 Minutes of Impact. 

Whether you serve individually or alongside colleagues, on campus or in the community, every act of service helps strengthen our neighbors and reflects our commitment to loving God and serving humanity. 

Explore the community service opportunities below or identify a project of your own. Together, we can make a meaningful difference.
