We collect aluminum cans from the community and donate the proceeds to various community charities and our food pantry. There is a drop-off area located west of the church where bags of aluminum cans can be provided by church members, and anyone driving by. Please help to contribute to this cause by saving your aluminum cans, and letting others know how simple this is to help contribute. We also collect coins within our offering plate and add these contributions to support various community projects.
For 2025, coins and cash proceeds from aluminum cans is being split among the "Waushara School District Backpack Programs" and the "Redgranite Fire Department". The Waushara School District has three programs that our donations can help support. The "Backpack Nutrition Program", the "Back to School Bash" and the "Waushara Holiday Project." Our most recent check went toward the purchase of nutritional food items that get packed into bags that privately get distributed into student's backpacks. Last school year, 214 elementary students benefited from this specific program. Thank you to those who donate the cans!
