Silent Auction Items Still Available!
Our Gala featured both a live and silent auction again this year, with a more that 50 items on offer from local partners and the church! Even if you could not attend the Gala, there is still a chance to bid! All proceeds go to benefit the renovation of the North Campus kitchen. Thank you for your support!
