Carolyn Hax: No sympathy for ‘lonely' friend who never reaches out
Dear Carolyn: I'm a college student who has a great group of friends. It took effort and outreach to facilitate these friendships — I'm not the most outgoing personality — but I count myself lucky, and I hope they do the same. Recently, a friend complained to some of us that we are not spending enough time with her, she feels lonely, and we need to do more as friends to reach out.

Serve Day is an annual Highlands event where volunteers from each of the church's 26 campuses meet physical and spiritual needs through projects such as home repairs, meal deliveries, hospital visits, school cleanups, and more. Volunteers also distributed groceries and essential items in underserved areas through a continued partnership with Convoy of Hope, a faith-based humanitarian organization. "We love our communities, and it's an honor to show up, serve people, and let them know they're not alone," said Mark Pettus, lead pastor at Highlands. "Highlands exists to make a difference in the world around us, and Serve Day is one way we get to do that together." Projects were organized through a Serve Day app, which Highlands developed and provides free to other churches organizing their own serve and outreach programs. The app helped coordinate more than 90,000 volunteer hours for Highlands members. This year's Serve Day marked an expansion of Highlands' partnership with Convoy of Hope that delivered 500,000 pounds of food and essential supplies into neighborhoods for individuals facing food insecurity, financial hardship, and personal crises.

More than 1,040 local projects were completed and included caring for elderly neighbors, renovating homes for foster families, and supporting veterans, widows, and people experiencing medical or financial challenges. Projects supported key community institutions such as schools, food banks, shelters, and women's resource centers.
