Changed in 2009

Specific only to places where ADRA serves (not available in the United States), this patch originally had the image of hands cradling something (which is evident in some other logos of different Adventist Ministries), in this case a building. It was later renamed to Community Service. These ADRA patches originally appeared in 2002, but were later redesigned and some requirements modified in 2009.
