A short response to the reactions your comment received:

I'm not sure why so many took your comment to be negative. It looks like a plug for that church.

I was disappointed to learn the nature of the volunteer.gov sight. I don't know why I expected different from a .gov url. It is obviously useful to know who is behind an effort. So your post added useful information.

I have used justserve.org to find opportunities to serve in my community. Most of the activities I joined didn't seem to benefit the church in any way beyond a rising tide lifting all boats. I jumped in because they looked like worthwhile activities that would just take a couple hours of my time.

So I took your posting as a bit of good will for an organization committing resources to a website that lets people of any stripe find opportunities to help other people of any stripe.
