November Focus of the Month
Fostering Hope
There is a serious need in the Treasure Valley to help out children in hard situations who are coming into foster care. This means that there is an opportunity for us to support local foster children in our community by providing for their practical needs! When kids come into foster care a lot of the time they don’t have essential items needed and we would love to bless these children by providing it for them.
If you or your Lifegroup feel led to donate or have any questions please contact Emely Campbell at emelycampbell92@gmail.com for an updated list of needs. Donations can be dropped off on Sundays to the Fostering Hope Box by the Compass Kids check-in area. Our collection of donations will be combined with Bibles and the 3 Most Important Words for Kids packet.
The deadline for these donations is December 10th! Let’s make an impact on these foster kids and their foster families this Christmas season by showing them Christ’s love through meeting these immediate practical needs.
