April Wood’s Heart for Hometown Service
In this episode of The Serving Effect, we sit down with April Wood—Garner, NC native, community champion, and administrator of Downtown Garner. From her early days serving through “GA’s” (Girls in Action) at church to her current role leading revitalization efforts in her hometown, April shares a powerful journey of faith, service, and hometown pride.
Discover how April’s passion for people and place has shaped everything from community events to local business growth—and how she continues to create spaces where others can shine. Whether it’s advocating for small business owners, coordinating community events, or simply showing up where help is needed, April’s story reminds us that service doesn’t require a spotlight—it just takes a willing heart.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation about the ripple effect of local leadership, creative service, and what it really means to invest where your roots run deep.
