CBC Serves Sunday 2024
Packing Day Nov. 24
What is CBC Serves Sunday?
This is a Sunday morning we dedicate each year to serving our community with the hopes that it spurs continued service within our church body throughout the year.
As in years past, we will be serving Lovepacs - a local organization that provides food to kids in need in our community during breaks from school. Many of these children receive free breakfast and lunch at school so they may go hungry over holiday breaks. Lovepacs steps in at these times to provide breakfast, lunch, and snacks for these kids.
How do I give?
We are collecting items from the Lovepacs list October 27 - November 17. You can bring items with you to CBC on Sunday mornings or during the week (Mon-Thurs 9am-4pm). We have a BIG goals and need thousands of items so we need everyone to participate to make it happen.
What items can be donated?
Lovepacs has a very specific list of items they put ineach box, so we can ONLY accept items and sizes from the Lovepacs list. If items are donated that are not on the list, we will not be able to use them (they will be donated to a local food bank). Please check this page regularly for items we need and quantities. These totals will be updated on this page weekly and we will provide updates during services in November.
Can I help?
YES! We need people to help count items each week and help working our CBC Serves event on November 24. Please complete THIS FORM if you can help out!
What happens on November 24?
Sunday, November 24, we will gather together to pack these food items into boxes that the children in our community will take home over Christmas break to ensure they have enough to eat. To minimize lines, we will have two pack times - Pack time 1 is from 9:30-10am and Pack time 2 is from 10:30-11am. We will have one service in between pack times at 10am.
There will be no regular services or childcare that day.
We are asking all participants to register - click the yellow button above to sign up for a pack time.
Schedule for November 24:
9:30 to 10 am: Pack time 1 - Arrive around 9:30 am and pack a few boxes. After you're finished packing, grab some breakfast, and join us for service. You can leave after our 10 am service is over.
10 to 10:30 am: Church Service - Everyone gathers in the sanctuary for one brief service from 10-10:30 am.
10:30 to 11 am: Pack time 2 - Come at 10am for service and, after service is over, you'll pack your boxes. After you're finished packing, you're welcome to leave.
**Note: This event requires some walking, carrying, and lifting. Boxes can get heavy as they are packed full of canned goods. We will have some helpers and furniture dollies available for use, but we strongly encourage you to bring something to carry your boxes on. This can be a furniture dolly or wagon - anything with wheels. Be sure to label it with your name!**
