When COVID-19 canceled all the previously planned youth activities like conferences and camps this past summer for the local units of the Kingsport Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, church leaders devised a new way to use the already budgeted funds.
Youth from each unit within the stake were challenged to think of a way to serve the community.
More than a dozen youth in the stakeâs Johnson City Ward took this seed of an idea and grew it into what they dubbed the âPet Plant Projectâ â a service project where plants would be donated to the elderly in the community.
