We are collecting school supplies and filled backpacks for both the Church Hill Baptist Center and CrossOver Ministry. School backpacks may be purchased and filled with school supplies or school supplies can be purchased separately. Please consider filling a backpack for each organization. See the shopping lists below. Also, socks and underwear for children, kindergarten through high school, are being collected.
Virginia’s tax free shopping weekend is August 5-7.
Bring your donations to the Missions Tables located in the Upper and Lower Commons of the church. Donations can be brought to the Watermelon Festival on August 7. The deadline for the school supply collection is Wednesday, August 10 (CrossOver) and Sunday, August 14 (Church Hill).
If would like to make a donation, but cannot shop, please send checks to the Church Office made out to RRCB with “backpacks” in the memo by Wednesday, August 3.
If you have questions, please contact Norma Hays (804-240-5016) or any member of the Board of Missions.
