2025 Global Youth Day of Service 

March 28th from 5-7 pm.

Website

Our stake has chosen to support Ranch Elementary school at their annual Spring Carnival on Friday.  Volunteers are needed to set up (4-5 pm), take down (7-8 pm) and to run the booths and activities.   In conjunction with the outdoor Carnival, we are doing a Non-Perishable Food Drive for “Project Bridge”. This program supports family in a variety of ways and "bridges the gap" until families can be more self-reliant. The "resource room" - housed at Jack Harmen Elementary school has items including food, clothing, personal hygiene and school supplies.  

 If you are unavailable that evening, we invite you to donate to our food drive. Current needs are as simple as the A B C's: All non-perishable food,  Breakfast items, Canned lunches or meals and nutritious SNACKS
