Community Service is a Primary Command whose mission is to provide community service and outreach services in support of the common good. And to spread the Christian Faith through positive actions and selfless service while benefiting the whole community. Finally, to foster relationships through partnership and coordination with others working towards the mutual goal of making the world a better place. Community Service is one of the most active commands of the Central Aid Agency because of its importance to our overall mission, and has been involved with a wide range of service projects and fundraisers over the years. Community Service volunteers are sometimes called "green shirts" because of the distinctive forest green uniform shirts they wear when participating in community service related activities.
