Collections
Outreach asks, before you drop off items in the red bins…
To please be mindful of what the church is currently collecting for our agency partners. In January and February, we will gladly accept hearty soups. And we will always accept non-perishable food items for Wake Relief and Urban Ministries. What we will no longer accept is clothing unless specifically requested, like coats, hats and gloves in November and December. If you have clothing to donate, please take directly to one of the following agencies: Dorcas, Dress for Success, Goodwill, Healing Transitions for Men & Women, Interact, Note in the Pocket, or Women’s Center of Wake County.
Thank you for your generosity and consideration by only donating items requested.
January & February Collections
In January we are collecting hearty cans of soup and food for Backpack Buddies. Donations will support our local agencies. Items can be left in any of the red bins located around our church campus. You can also order using our Amazon.com link.
Order Hearty Soups and Backpack Buddies food through Amazon

Red Bin Locations
Red bins are located in the breezeway outside of Pickard Hall, in The Hub and outside Main Hall in the Edinburgh Building.
