Socality's latest community initiative and monthly theme is restoration. Described as a social network for all eternity, the Christian organization encourages local communities all over the world to focus on one concept to enrich the lives of those around them. Following their successful partnership with Charity:Water in March, they are looking more broadly to the idea of a fresh start and applying a new sense of passion to all areas of life.
Those interested in participating in the faith-based community initiative can use the hashtag #socalityrestoreproject on all social media platforms as well as sharing projects on the Socality site. They suggest looking around the house, in your community, in your own life and relationships to find something that needs new life.
This provides an opportunity to give back, whether you choose to focus on a personal project or a group one.
