Do What Is Good (DWIG) is a faith-based initiative harnessing the skills and abilities of people of good intent in rural communities, to first build, through serving. One critical part of building a healthy community is finding out what individual capacities each resident possesses. Collectively, these individual capacities represent an important asset for the community. They comprise a powerful "tool" that can be used to address problems, promote growth, and enhance the quality of local life. The less a community knows about itself and its citizens' capacities, the easier it is to fall into a pattern of seeing the community and its people only through a "needs" perspective. The more a community becomes familiar with itself and its citizens, the more obvious it becomes that what is good about a community far outweighs whatever needs it may have. Additionally, it becomes clear that the challenges a community faces can be addressed most effectively by using the capacities that already exist there, rather than looking somewhere else for answers. DWIG collects the talents, or gifts, of individuals then matches those with intended initiatives in a community. Its primary intent is to build capacity and access resources through community gaps and enhance existing community assets.
