Local Service Opportunities

"Back to School" Backpack Drive - Yes, we know, school just let out for the summer, but here at Edge/SNC, we know that in just a few weeks there will be a great need for backpacks! We would like to meet that need for some of the children in our community. As you know, we have a tremendous amount of educators in our Church family. Wouldn't it be awesome to provide them with a resource to give to those in need? Our goal for our first year is 45 backpacks. We will begin collecting them June 28th through August 2nd. Please add the following supplies to your backpacks: a box of pencils, a spiral notebook; a small box of crayons; 1 three-ring binder; a ruler; and an eraser. God bless you, you are all amazing!
