FOOD DRIVE
Summer is coming… but not everyone will feel it the same. For some families, school being out means one less meal they can count on. All month of May, we’re collecting food and essentials to support real needs in our community.
It’s simple—grab a few items, drop them in the foyer, and make a difference.
International Praise Church iReach Center is located right here on the Elgin Campus. For more information, visit the welcome center or see Sister Angela Barnette @abarnette@ipcog.org
