Heartfelt Thank You: Edge Youth extends our gratitude and appreciation for everyone who helped support our mission trip transportation fundraiser! Without the help from a supportive church family and community this would not have been possible. We are so grateful to the parents who made the food, to everyone who donated items to be auctioned off, and to the individuals and families who came to show support at the meal and auction. Your support has helped us exceed our goal! The kids see and feel your support, thank you for making this experience of a mission trip possible for these students!
