January Outreach

JANUARY SUPPLY DRIVE: THE ENRICHMENT CENTER



“We are walking with students through seasons of struggle.”


That’s what our partners, therapists at The Enrichment Center, do every day. However, therapy with young people in a school-based setting sometimes requires tools, resources, and items beyond what can be budgeted any given year. With a new wish list available, we’re asking that you take a look and consider which items you can donate to The Enrichment Center. We’ll be collecting items throughout the month of January, and you can place items in the collection boxes outside of the office and in the narthex. Please contact Sam if you have any questions!

Mark Your Calendar!
