This Week’s Announcements
Edgerton Food Shelf: The Edgerton Food Shelf urgently needs donations to help support individuals and families in our community. We are accepting non-perishable food and personal care items. Monetary donations are also greatly appreciated, allowing us to purchase fresh food and other necessities. Donations can be dropped off at First Reformed Church. Items they always need: peanut butter, jelly, ketchup, Mac n cheese, cereal, spaghetti, pancake mix, syrup, cans of vegetables or fruit, body wash, toilet paper, or detergent. Checks can be made out to: Edgerton Food Shelf. The food shelf meets on the third Saturday of each month to distribute items to those in need. Last month, we fed 185 people. Every donation, big or small, makes a meaningful impact in the fight against hunger. Thank you for your generosity and support!

There is a constant need for blood. Every 2 seconds someone/somewhere in the U.S.A. needs blood. Anyone 16 years old or older and in good health can donate.
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!
