Scavenger Hunt Food Drive - THANK YOU!!!

Scavenger Hunt Food Drive was a huge success...THANK YOU!!!

Food collected during the scavenger hunt food drive today. Thank to our wonderful church family for their giving hearts! We collected 431 items for a total of 46,025 points (6,217 more points than the last time). The most points ever!!! 

They were a little wet by the time we finished but they were still full of smiles!

Back end was full of items we collected and then we went to Coborns.

Pausing for a minute to add up how much money the girls spent on personal hygiene items so we could add it to the food items the boys picked out.

We had $250 Thrivent card plus $60 in cash donations to purchase needed items.

We called the Salvation Army the day before to see what they were running low on so we used the money to purchase those items...diapers, personal hygiene products, ramen, macaroni & cheese, pasta, pasta sauce and canned fruit. 

How is this going to fit in there? Only one can of fruit fell out when we opened the door at the Salvation Army...we called that a win!!

A fun day spent together!

Announcements for November 4, 2024

Reminder that our scavenger hunt food drive is Saturday! Will be starting at 9:00 am by the church & ending in Huron. Below is the point value system we will be using for items collected.

Scavenger Hunt Food Drive - November 9th

The 7th-12th grade Immanuel youth will be doing a scavenger hunt food drive on Saturday, November 9th. We will start by the church around 9:00 am and will work our way south around the country and end up in Huron by 11:30 am. The collected items will be delivered to the Salvation Army Food Pantry. Any non-perishable items that you donate will be more than appreciated. Please be sure the items are not expired as they cannot give them away if expired and will just be thrown away. The youth always have fun keeping track of scavenger hunt points (each item has a designated point value). If you will not be home but would like to donate you may leave items at the church or talk to Jodi to make other arrangements. Also, if you know you will not be home, please let Jodi know so we do not stop. Thank you in advance for helping us "Can Hunger!"
