Green Timbers Elementary
Our partnership with the local elementary school has helped provide a pathway for our church to serve our neighbourhood and has given us the opportunity to support local families. Through our partnership with the school and the Fullerton Fund, we regularly support educational needs and support families in need.
A few of the things that we have done with Green Timbers Elementary School:
- Hosted Back to School Parties at the church that have served as fund raisers and community events
- Raised funds for an outdoor classroom that was installed on the grounds of the school in 2020!
- Packed and delivered Christmas hampers to local residents in need
- Purchased reading support curriculum for classroom use
- Supported the breakfast program
with money, time, food and supplies - Volunteered as crossing guards in the parking lot
- Raised funds to buy an accessible swing for the playground through the Back to School Party
- Provided funds for students who need school supplies, assistance to go on field trips, and other needs
Surrey Food Bank
The Surrey Food Bank provides food to families living in Surrey and North Delta. We pride ourselves in supplying nutritious food in a respectful and dignified environment. In addition, we believe it is our responsibility to connect our clients to other community services as a means of helping them become self-sufficient
Before the Food Bank moved to its new location in the Newton neighbourhood, we served as a Depot for them. That means that every other Wednesday, the Surrey Food Bank brought food to our church and our volunteers passed it out to the clients in the neighbourhood and those who choose this to be their pick up location.
We continue to support the Food Bank with financial and volunteer support. Our partnership allows us to serve those in need in our surrounding community.
