Food Drive NL - Cans4Kids
Blue Ridge is partnering with Harvest Outreach to provide food boxes for 50 families in the Lynchburg and Campbell County school systems. These families, whose children rely heavily on school meals, will receive boxes filled with non-perishable food items and a handwritten note of encouragement at the end of the school year.
This initiative offers a meaningful way to support our community and demonstrate the love of Christ.
• The last day to drop off items is THIS coming Sunday, May 18.
• Donations can be dropped off in the atrium.
• Please ensure all items are unexpired and in their original packaging.

Serving Opportunities
At Blue Ridge we believe that serving is not only an appropriate response to God, it is also an avenue to encounter Him in new ways and experience spiritual growth. When you are answering God's calling to serve, He equips and fills you. When you serve it's much more than pouring out what's been poured into you, it's a way to move closer to God.
