Via Church joins needy kids as they prepare for the new school year. It is currently holding a School Supplies Drive. This donation drive started on July 10. The church will collect supplies on three Sundays of July. The next dates are July 17 and 24.

Free School Supplies for Children in Need 

As shared on its Facebook page, Via Church's mission is to show compassion. It cares for all people in need. It addresses the needs of others above its own. 

Every year Via Church partners with a local school to serve the community. The partnership aims to provide school supplies to children in need. Via Church is collecting donations in the lobby of its Main Auditorium. 

Those who want to donate can drop off the item at the lobby on July 17 and 24. The first Sunday for this School Supplies Drive was July 10. 

Via Church encourages its congregation to visit the church and stop by the rack in the lobby of the Main Auditorium for a printed list of suggested school supplies. They may also visit the church's website

The suggested items for School Supplies Drive are crayons, dry-erase markers, scissors, spiral notebooks, composition books, and more. Via Church expresses gratitude to everyone for their compassion and for serving others in need.

Via Church recently hosted a Pool Party and Water Baptism. As announced on Facebook, the church invited everyone for a Pool Party last July 15 from 7:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. 

It was a free event for the whole family at the Shepherd Aquatic Complex.
