Overtaking my campus with love
CARP has changed my life
My relationship with God is so much stronger now, and the relationships I have with others around me are better. CARP has changed my life and the lives of those around me.

MLK and the Heart of Service: 40 Days Recap
CARP Bay Area concluded a successful MLK 40 Days of Service from January 18 to February 27, 2021.
During the 40 Days of Service, the mural team and volunteers from various organizations would meet once a week to help paint the welcome section of the mural stating: “Welcome to Sobrante Park.” Each service day, a group of 15 to 20 volunteers would show up early in the morning ready to contribute to beautifying the wall. Many times while painting the wall, passersby would stop and express their utmost gratitude for our service and also want to learn how they can begin to plug in and contribute to the project. It was an incredible feeling seeing the face of true joy and gratitude from the community.
