The Deacons will be collecting school supplies for Running Brook Elementary School, Bridges to Housing Stability and Luminus Network for New Americans (formerly FIRN) this year. Due to COVID-19, we will have a hybrid collection again this year – a combination of drive-up and in-person. We are planning to hold a drive-up collection of school supplies and/or cash donations on two consecutive Saturdays in August.
The Deacons will have a tent set up in the church parking lot
from 10:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. on Saturdays, August 6 and 13.
PLEASE drive up to the tent for a low-contact donation. Drive up, pop your trunk and we will grab the donations. If you wish to make a cash donation to enable the Deacons to shop for school supplies and can’t come out, please donate through the church and mark your donation clearly for “School Supplies/Deacons.”
If you can’t make it on August 6th or August 13th, or you are attending an in-person church service, please feel free to bring your donations and drop them in the bin marked “School Supplies” outside the kitchen door through Sunday, August 21st.
