Fun with the Son

Saturday, August 21, 8:00a - 12:00p (volunteers arrive at 7:00a), Old Settler's Park

Fun with the Son is an opportunity for you to help local children from low-income families receive gently used school clothes, immunizations, dental screenings, and supplies while most importantly learning about Jesus Christ. Over 1,800 children will receive clothes and more than 3,000 people will hear the Gospel. For information on Fun with the Son, contact Justin Frazier at 972.359.7777 x2424.

How Can I Get Involved?

Clothing and Shoe Donations

Please donate your gently used clothes and shoes of all sizes. Please place these items in the plastic pools located in front of the Courts. In order to provide for every family that will come to the event, we need approximately 30,000 articles of clothing. A tax deduction receipt will be available at the CreekStore.

Support

Sponsor a child for $5. In addition to clothing and shoe donations, backpacks will also be given to all children. Please help support FWTS and the purchase of the backpacks and other supplies by donating $5 to sponsor a child. Make checks payable to CCBC and put FWTS in the memo. Checks may be dropped off at the CreekStore. You may also designate $5 to FWTS on your regular giving envelope and place it in the offering on Sunday.
