SUPPLY DRIVE
Help meet the needs of local kids by donating school supplies for the coming school year!
You can donate two ways:
(1) drop-off a backpack already filled with school supplies, or
(2) drop off individual supplies in collection bins in the Atrium or KidsWorld at your campus.
We are collecting supplies July 12-27.
A RIDE FOR THE VULNERABLE
Ride for Hope is a free June-August virtual cycling event open to riders of all ages and experience levels. Whether you choose to ride on a stationary bike at home or on a local trail, your miles contribute to a greater purpose—supporting sex trafficking survivors on their journey to healing. Cycle all summer, log your miles, raise funds, and then come together for a big celebration on September 5!
Ride for Hope kicks off June 7 & 8 when rider packets will be available.
On the last Saturday of each month, we will host a community ride where you can gather with fellow participants, enjoy the camaraderie, and continue making an impact together.
