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

Need: Sending food to salvation army to give to families in our community in need of food and sustenance during this season.

Non-perishable Food Needs:

o   Rice

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.
