THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE!
Every year at IMPACT & EDGE our youth and their families are encouraged to contribute to a canned/non-perishable food drive benefitting the St. Vincent de Paul Society! Items donated go directly to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity in our local area. We are honored to serve our neighbors and friends in this way!
​
"The generous will be blessed,
for they share their food with the poor."
PROVERBS 22:9
​
Food donations may be dropped off at EDGE, IMPACT, or Summit up until the third Sunday of November each year. Please read below for details on this year's drive and donate any items on our list of needs for fall. Thank you for your generosity!
