Where will we be?  Here are the various projects going on that day!

SERVING LOCAL SCHOOLS

TIMBERLINE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL – GRAPEVINE

         We will deliver backpacks of school supplies to TES.  When our volunteers arrive they will be given a list of ‘jobs’ by school leaders.  This will possibly include some light gardening, so please bring garden gloves and any of your favorite garden tools.  We will be sprucing up their courtyard for the first day of school.  We will also organize closets and get books ready for distribution. 

CROSS TIMBERS MIDDLE SCHOOL – GRAPEVINE

         We will deliver backpacks with school supplies to CTMS.  School counselor, Lisa Hughes will greet you and then put you to work on various school projects to get the school ready for the first day of class! 

SERVING INTERNATIONALS LOCALLY

 UTA ARLINGTON – USED ITEMS SALE

This used items sale is for International students who are new to UTA. They have just arrived from various countries and our ministry partner ISI holds a huge Used Items sale on the UTA campus. We will be helping students bid on items and then getting those items transported to their new homes.  If you have a truck or a heart for international ministry, this service project is for you!

Please contact Ron Bunyard for more information:

WORLD RELIEF – FORT WORTH

We will take backpacks to the World Relief Case workers to distribute to new children starting school.  Then we will work on a gift bag for the families.  This bag will have items to help a family that is just arriving from overseas.  Children will be very helpful for this project because they will create a card welcoming the family to America.
