    Sunday, November 6 | Bags by the Bumper  

    Bags by the Bumper is coming up on Sunday, November 6! Just in time for the holidays, this outreach is all about collecting food items that will bless those in need this Thanksgiving. 

    1. Bring your grocery bags filled with non-perishable food items. 
    2. Place your bags by the bumper of your car before you go into service. 
    3. Our Dream Team will pick them up. 

    It's that simple. We love partnering with you to impact our community.
