More than 50 local girls ages 12-18 turned a summer party into a community service project Tuesday evening, collecting feminine hygiene products and baby supplies for the Pregnancy Care Center of Churchill County while gathering for music, dancing, games, and food.
Monica Miller, director of the Pregnancy Care Center, spoke to the girls about the center’s mission and how the donations help women and families in Churchill County.
The party was hosted by Lindsey Irving, a local leader of a girls youth group for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Irving’s backyard was transformed with café lights, music, Italian sodas, and food, while the girls spent the evening dancing, playing games, and enjoying the trampoline.
“The girls’ dance party was more than just an evening of fun—it brought young women together for a meaningful cause,” Irving said. “Girls from our church youth group invited friends from the community, creating a welcoming space to connect and learn about the needs of women and families in our area.”
The event was part of JustServe, a free community volunteer platform that connects people with service opportunities and organizations with volunteer needs. The platform includes projects from nonprofits, schools, faith-based organizations, local governments, and other community groups.
The service opportunity remains available for community members who would like to help. The Pregnancy Care Center has a gift registry through JustServe where needed items can be purchased online and shipped directly to the center.
“We believe it is important to help young women recognize needs around them and respond with compassion, while also affirming their own worth, value, and purpose,” Irving said.
Community members can also use JustServe.org to find other local volunteer opportunities.
