One bag of groceries = One message of hope.

Imagine being a child transitioning between foster homes—amid all the uncertainties, the last thing you should worry about is whether you’ll have enough to eat. This April, our church has an opportunity to show foster children that they are cared for and supported through our special food drive, sponsored by the Women’s Ministry.

Throughout the month, we are inviting our entire congregation—men, women, and families alike—to contribute food and other goods (listed below) to stock a mobile pantry specifically for foster kids in between placements. Your generous donations will provide nourishing meals and comforting snacks, ensuring these children experience stability and care during uncertain times.

Simply bring your food donations to the church on Sunday morning, Wednesday evening, or during office hours throughout the month of April. At the end of the month, we’ll deliver everything collected to restock the mobile pantry and bless foster children in our community.

Let’s make this drive a huge success! Our goal is to collect so many items that we need multiple vehicles to transport them all. Every contribution counts; together, we can ensure no foster child worries about their next meal.

Bring the groceries. Share the hope.
