Thanksgiving Food Boxes
In partnership with the Social Workers of our area elementary schools, we collect food and fill boxes for 40-45 specific families identified as in need. Food items are for the whole week that schools are closed, plus some special items for a Thanksgiving meal.
Secret Christmas Corner
This event is a beloved tradition in our church and our community. New and gently used items are collected throughout the year so children can come purchase gifts for the parents, siblings and friends - all for $2 (and under) each. Kids make their shopping list, an elf helper helps them shop, they pay for their items themselves, then take them to our gift wrap room where volunteers wrap them beautifully so the gifts are ready to go right under the tree when they get home! Crafts, cookies, coco and a visit with Santa are also special parts of the day! Please join us next year! (Date TBD but is usually the 1st or 2nd Saturday in December)

Our Preschool offers a half day camp for ages 4 & 5. CASA offers a full day camp for rising 1st-5th graders. Rising Kindergarteners can participate in a "hybrid" camp, attending Preschool camp in the morning and CASA camp in the afternoon. Click below for camp details.
