Join in the Annual ChristChurch Backpack Drive

This ChristChurch service opportunity provides a way for our congregation to engage in serving locally. Backpacks and school supplies are needed for families with young children at the Family Promise Hillsboro shelter. Over the next two weeks we will collect school supplies to assemble 10-12 backpacks for children in a shelter setting.

Pick up a supply list in the Commons. Supplies are gratefully accepted through August 27th.

There are many ways to participate:
1) purchase one backpack and all the supplies needed to fill it
2) partner with another family to purchase all the supplies for a complete backpack
3) purchase any single items on the list and help fill backpacks after church on the last collection Sunday, August 27th
4) volunteer to deliver backpacks to the Family Promise shelter during the week of August 28th

You’ll find the collection basket in the Commons. Thank you for considering joining in on this important service to our community neighbors!
