School Supply Drive
This year’s School Supply Drive runs alongside our regular Food Pantry — Saturday, August 1 from 10:00–11:30 AM. Free school supplies for students, while supplies last. Everyone is welcome!

Leave donations in the drop-off box at the metal building next to the church by Friday, July 31, or shop our Amazon supply list and drop your order in the box once it arrives. Shopping in store? Walmart is running a big back-to-school sale right now.
