​Volunteer one or two hours of your time at our 3rd annual Serves Day organized by the FCCPA Outreach Board. We welcome helpers of any age and ability to join us in supporting agencies in our community, and in beautifying and maintaining areas within our church.
To donate to FCCPA Serves online,   click   here  to log in or  create a gift,  and select "Outreach-Other" as the Giving Fund, and   please  enter   "FCCPA Serves" in the memo section.   Thank you for your donation!
If you are unable to join us in person, consider donating a new, empty backpack for one of our projects. Monetary donations for purchasing backpacks, school supplies, fleece for our no-sew fleece blankets, or ordering books for the grief packets are also appreciated.



​Monetary donations in-person and donations of new backpacks* will be accepted throughout August after Sunday church services, or they can be dropped off at the church office during the week.Please make  sure  any  donations  have  "FCCPA Serves" in the memo section.  *Backpack specifications: The backpacks can be any color except solid red, blue, or turquoise. They should measure between 17 and 19 inches in height, be sturdy, and of good quality. Please consider that most of our backpacks will go to middle and high school students when selecting your backpack.
