Help Us Fill Buckets for Flood Victims

In response to the recent flooding, we are collecting supplies to create relief buckets for those affected. These buckets will be filled with essential cleaning and hygiene items to help families begin the recovery process.


Supplies can be dropped off in the Gathering Space Monday - Thursday 8-12 or Sunday mornings.
