Each year, we provide children and youth in our community with much-needed school supplies and personalized cards of encouragement. We are able to do this because of the generosity of our congregation and community. We would love your help again!

You can support our drive by:

• Making a donation or purchasing items through our Registry: We hope to provide 125 backpacks to Bayview Mission. You can support this goal by purchasing items or donating to a fund we will use to make a bulk purchase of items. Making a bulk purchase will help us be eco-friendly by reducing the amount of packaging and deliveries for our drive, helping us care for creation as we care for our community! We are seeking donations until August 1.
• Write a greeting card: We want to provide messages of encouragement to every child who receives a backpack. This year, we are also supporting Braid Mission’s Cards of Hope program, writing cards for youth in foster care. To support, please email Steph for more information about writing cards at home!
• Help us pack and deliver backpacks: We will gather on August 4 after the 11 am service to pack backpacks. Please join us!
