A Helping Hand

As an initiative to spread love to a community in need, we will be collecting items to create individual valentines-themed care bags to deliver to the Agape House in Bristol, CT. The Agape House serves approximately 75 homeless and underserved people per day and could use a little extra love during this long, cold season.

To make 75 care packages, we are collecting:

Hand warmers
$5 gift cards (McDonalds or Dunkin are favorites)
Gently used clothing/warm socks
- Or
Cash donations to purchase supplies listed

Elementary students will add a special touch by making handmade valentines with positive affirmations for each package!

Please send donations by Thursday, February 12th.

Thank you for helping us warm the hands and hearts of people in need!

Registration forms that are typically completed over the summer will now be included as part of the February re-enrollment process.
