Community Bucket
The “Community Bucket” program raises money throughout the year through car washes, a pancake supper, Bingo night and bake sales. Everyone in Family Ministry and Youth Group has access to using money from the bucket when needed. The funds can be used for summer camp, fall retreat, Youth Group trips/events or other church/diocese programming that has a cost attached. There is no income level/need-based questions for granting money from the community bucket.
Family Ministry and Youth Group - as a whole - shows up and helps when able with the fundraising events. This creates more opportunity for elementary and teen ages to overlap and be in relationships, creating more opportunity to create community and memories together.
If you need help with funds for the Parish Retreat or Summer Camp, please click here to email Dan Thompson. We have Community Bucket funds for this purpose.
From this we teach our kids that
It’s ok - and necessary - to ask for help from your community
You show up to contribute to the community, to each other and the good of the group, not just yourself
Sharing is a big part of Christian life…no matter if someone was there all day or at the very end of the day
