Our goal this year is to gather $500,000 to continue making a lasting impact in Michiana. Where will it all show up?
The first place is 20 Days of Giving. From December 2-21, we’ll be popping up all over the place doing things like:
Giving away free gas in the community.
Purchasing food to feed over 8,000 families in the Michiana area through Feed the Children . Join us December 9 at the Food Drop as we prepare trucks and deliver food to families all over the community.
Providing funds for families who are struggling to pay their rent, due to directing their income towards heating their homes for the winter.
Helping provide school supplies for local students and teachers in need.
Giving scholarships to single moms for continued education and life skills training.
Helping a community center continue to provide food and English language training to the community.
Giving local school children the chance to experience field trips to an interactive museum.
Helping provide new baby/children’s blankets for area shelters.
Cleaning and adding storage shelving at a homeless shelter.
Helping some other local churches grow through building restoration and expansion.
The second place, is in preparations for growth on campus so we’re ready for more of your friends to hear they matter to God. We’re making plans to create more space to connect, more rooms for the kids and more seats.

Check this great idea out from Granger Community Church: Life isn’t just about great friends and growing in our faith. It’s about impacting the community around us. Every year we come together at Christmas to provide a special gift for our community. And this year, it’s actually 20 gifts - one every day for 20 days to celebrate 20 years of changed lives at Granger Community Church.
