2024 Community Impact Offering
During our 2024 Easter services, we took our second annual Community Impact Offering. We raised over $40,000 that we gave back 100% to local organizations who are making an impact in our community! This remarkable achievement showcases the dedication and compassion of Bethany towards making a positive difference in our local community. This chart shows the organizations we gave to and a breakdown of where the money went. We are immensely proud to have partnered with these incredible organizations, which have proven track records of making positive changes in our communities. By supporting them, we can collectively create a ripple effect of transformation, improving lives and fostering hope for a brighter future.

School Partnerships
Partners
Bethany partners with Wildwood Elementary School, Ferrucci Jr High and Walker High School. Bethany provides support for 10 – 45 children with a “Weekend Backpack” program. The backpack program includes meals and snacks such as: ravioli, cans of soup, easy mac, stew, spaghetti-os, oatmeal packets, fruit cups, applesauce, trail mix, individual cereals, protein or granola bars. Bethany also provides extra items for the schools to have a pantry onsite so that any student if hungry can grab a snack or meal.
Donations are always welcome. Specifically, in August we will have bins every weekend in the lobby for collection. Food can always be placed in the food box inside the door by the Bethany Church Office during weekend services or feel free to drop donations in the church office anytime during the week. If you would like more information (delete) or would like to help pack backpacks or help with a service project the end of March at Ferrucci Jr. High, email Kate.
