Deacons School Supply Drive 2025

The Deacons will collect school supplies again this year. The collection will be a solely in-person drop-off in bins located inside and outside of the church building.

School supply collection will be from Sunday, July 20 through Sunday, August 10

Please bring your donations and drop them in the bins marked "School Supplies" outside the kitchen door and in the Upper Commons through Sunday, August 10.

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 as "School Supplies/Deacons."

Drive-Up School Supply Collection Date! Saturday, August 9th from 10 am to 12 pm

We added a drive-up collection date to make it easy for you to drop off your School Supply donations. You'll find us behind the church ready and waiting to greet you and take your donations from your car with our thanks.

Feel free to bring your August Just One Can and Just One Can Plus Food Staples donations too!
