12 days of Giving Campaign
In the final days we purchase perishable items for the food parcels our youth will distribute to our Beaver Dam Area Community neighbors..
So far we have received about $1100 to make that happen. While that will cover milk and butter, we are still looking for help with our proteins.
$700 will purchase chicken, $600 will cover hamburger.
Can you help? Every cent of monies we receive goes to purchase food. You can donate by VENMO (), send a check to PO BOX 31, BD, WI 53916 or Laura will meet you to pick up - text 920.344.5769
Thank you all for your faithfulness so far - you've made a difference!

We are SO grateful to Apache Stainless for hosting our 8th annual Global Youth Service Day food drive this month! We are excited about the event being held in one space again this year and grateful for their support.

However, a space alone doesn’t make an event happen.

People do.

If you or your family would consider giving a part of your weekend to helping us get the donated food into families’ hands, we can finish this event strong!

AND did you know that this is a globally-wide YOUTH event? We ESPECIALLY need those under 25 to help out, so feel free to sign up your kid, niece, or neighbor! 😉

How can you help?

🚙 We need people to help drive around town on Friday, 4/24, to pick up donations from host sites and get food back to Apache. (This can be any time of day, and we’ll coordinate who’s going where as the time gets closer.)

🛍️ We need people to come to Apache to help sort all the donated food into bags. (This would be a few afternoon hours on Saturday, 4/25. Exact time windows will be sent out to those who choose this option.)

👏🏼 We need people to come to Apache to help finalize food sorting (12-2) and help run the distribution line (2-4) on Sunday, 4/26.

Please complete the form to be on the volunteer list and our volunteer coordinator will reach out soon with exact timeframes. (If you have questions in the meantime, you can reach out to [email protected]!)

THANK YOU for your support and the hands to make this year’s food drive a successful one!
