Estes Valley Investment in Childhood Success (EVICS) Family Resource Center- Sunday Evening<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

EVICS Family Resource Center offers parents and families the necessary resources to thrive. EVICS provides support groups to parents and helps them create a plan to reach family goals. EVICS also provides educational experiences and supply kits to children before they return to school or begin school for the first time. During Sunday evening worship, we are collecting coloring books, packs of pencils, packs of pens, and notebooks to help children and youth thrive in the upcoming school year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Food Initiative- Monday Morning <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Global Food Initiative empowers people to meet their nutritional needs, to farm sustainably, to feed children, and to create livelihoods. Donations to the Global Food Initiative (GFI) during Monday Morning worship supports food security and hunger-related initiatives around the world in countries like Honduras, Ecuador, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Burundi, Uganda, and Democratic Republic of Congo. Recent GFI grants supported an aquaculture farm in the Dominican Republic, small animal microbusiness projects in Honduras, yucca grinding machines for Indigenous women in the Venezuelan Amazon rainforest, and school garden programs in Ecuador. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

NYC Scholarship Fund- Tuesday Morning <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Did you know that youth from across the world have been invited to NYC? The NYC Scholarship Fund supports multicultural domestic and international youth in their efforts to attend NYC. By contributing to the NYC Scholarship Fund, you have the opportunity to widen the welcome of NYC! Giving to the NYC Scholarship Fund on Tuesday Morning helps to ensure that more youth will have the chance to experience NYC in 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
