Boxes of Love started because two pediatric nurses saw kids coming into foster care at the hospital with very little, if any, personal possessions. The organization serves kids up to the age of 18. The boxes they pack include 2 years of clothing for all seasons. The average value of each box is $500, and most boxes are given to kids in our local community. To date, they have been able to distribute 800+ boxes.

GBC will be participating by doing a clothing drive for ages 0-7, from now until Easter Sunday. The most helpful items are whole outfits. Their recommendations for the best brands are Carters (which can be found at Columbia Gorge Outlets, Kohls, Fred Meyer) and Target brands (Just One You, Cat & Jack, and Cloud Island).

You can bring your items to church each Sunday, or by the church office M-Th 9am-3pm.

You can also donate funds through our churchcenter app HERE. Or write "Boxes of Love" on the memo line of your check and drop it in the offering box.
