College Care Package Drive for our church family grads!

This fall, we’re sending care packages to students who were a part of our church family during their high school years. This yearly tradition let’s us show our students, near and far, that we are thinking of them in this season of big changes and transitions.

We’re currently collecting items for 14 care packages! Donations of snack items and treats to help fill them are much appreciated. When selecting snacks, please choose individually wrapped, single-serve items. (For example, a box of protein bars that contains 4 individually wrapped bars counts as 4 items.) Take a look at the list below for inspiration!
