This month’s tangible goods drive supports PATH Scholars. Donations are accepted from July 1 - July 31. Items may be placed in the manger near the altar on Sundays, or brought to the office during office hours.

For the month of July the Greatest Gift Project will be collecting goods to benefit the Chico State PATH Scholars Program.  This is a program that supports the educational goals of current and former foster youth, as well as unaccompanied homeless youth. PATH is an acronym for Promoting Achievement Through Hope. Staff provide personalized financial aid services, counseling, advising, and tutoring services as well as connecting students with resources on campus and in the community.

 

MISSION: As part of Faith Lutheran’s “The Greatest Gift Project”, we are supporting the PATH Scholars with everyday essentials. Without family support and adequate financial resources, these students often find it difficult to buy necessary items for independent living.

We both invite and encourage our Faith Lutheran family to pick one or more of the following items and bring them to worship to be placed at the manger beneath the altar starting Sunday July 5th and continuing through the month of July.

  • Cleaning supplies (disinfecting wipes, laundry soap, dish soap, sponges, scrub brushes, etc)
  • Hygiene products (toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, body wash, feminine hygiene, etc)  
  • Paper Products (toilet paper, paper towels)
  • Gift Cards (Target, Walmart, gas, groceries, eateries near campus) 

 

HOW CAN I MAKE A DIFFERENCE: 

  • You can help by adding a few of these items as you are out doing your regular shopping and by bringing them to church on Sunday morning or during the week. 
  • Spreading the word to family, friends and neighbors and inviting them to share in the giving community that we know Faith Lutheran is. 

 

Every donation, big or small, helps uplift and support current and former foster youth, as well as unaccompanied homeless youth at Chico State.
