Help us Shower our Community with Love
During our "April Showers" drive for our Blessings Box, we are collecting personal care items like shampoo and conditioner, soap, body wash, toothbrushes and toothpaste, feminine products, diapers and more!
April Showers addresses an important community need — over 5,000 households in Hays County receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, which do not apply to the purchase of personal care items. Consequently, thousands of families and individuals count on donations to their local shelters and food pantries for these essentials.
You can place your donations directly in the Blessings Box or bring to the church during in person services on Sundays!
