RCS Cares | 2 Weeks, 2 Ways
November is a month we love to take the opportunity to give and put into practice our value of serving the community! Starting this week, we are accepting both donations for our annual Food Drive and Operation Christmas Child.
Food Drive

Why: We are so excited to bless those who come to the food bank! God is going to be working through our students to feed our neighbors.
