The mission of my church is, "Reaching out with Christ to an ever changing world." Sometimes the reaching is very visible such as when we host the homeless as part of the CARITAS program in Richmond, but sometimes care is best shown in quiet ways, like this sign in the courtyard behind the church. Lift the lid of this hanging box and you have access to the names and phone numbers of all the programs in the community available to people who are hurting. For people who are reluctant to reveal their troubles, this might be the first step to seeking help.
