June 18, 2019


Through Sunday, June 30, we're collecting NEW sheet sets (twin/full/queen) for  Beds for Kids - a local ministry partner who  provides essential furniture (including beds!) to children and their families in need.  Teams and families from Carmel regularly serve at Beds for Kids, repairing and preparing donated furniture and assisting with "delivery days."

We want to collect 700 sheet sets for Beds for Kids (200 have already been donated). 500 sheet sets in 13 days. Let's do it! 

Drop your donations in the Collections Bins in the Gathering Space. 

Looking Ahead: Beginning July 1, our collection shifts to school supplies for partner schools Lansdowne Elementary and Merry Oaks Elementary.
