Upcoming Opportunities to Give and Serve:
CARE CLOSET DONATIONS:
Did you know that we have a Care Closet at Orchard Hill that helps families that come to our church in crisis and in need of essentials? We are trying to stock our closet with emergency food boxes, diapers (of all sizes) and wipes, and personal care items. You can place donations in the marked bin by the West Entry. Food bag instructions are specific and listed below! Thank You!
Food Bag Instructions:
Place the following items in a sturdy, reusable grocery bag. Make sure no items require a can opener (pop-top lids). Each bag should contain:
- 2 cans meat (tuna or chicken)
- 1 jar peanut butter
- 1 box crackers
- 1 pack fruit cups or 2 cans fruit
- 2 bottles water
- 2 cans stew/soup
- 2 cans Spaghetti O’s
- 2 cans veggies
- 1 pack soft granola bars
And if possible:
- A Tupperware container (bowl sized), a set of plastic utensils, and napkins
HAND 2 HAND AT CENTRAL ELEMENTARY
60% of families in Walker don’t qualify for assistance but don’t make enough financially to get by without it. In light of this high need in our own backyard, Orchard Hill is partnering with Hand 2 Hand Ministries to provide weekend meals for hungry students from Central Elementary School. This will be an ongoing collection of food and opportunities to package meals. Visit the links to sign up and share the love of Christ through this ministry!

KIDS HOPE MENTORS:
Orchard Hill Church is blessed to partner with Central Elementary School, located right down the street from our building! Adults from our congregation volunteer to give one hour, each week, to mentor a child at Central Elementary School, and we match that mentoring pair with a volunteer prayer partner from Orchard Hill.
There are currently a couple of children who are in search of mentors and prayer partners. If you have a desire to get involved and share God’s love with a child in need of extra support, please contact our Kids’ Hope Coordinator, Stacy Salmon
