Box City ‘24 Follow Up
Our first offsite Box City was a hit! Here are some quick stats about our attendance and the various forms of outreach/service performed by our participants:
5 participating churches: 37 youth and 28 adults
10+ quarts of extra soup donated to God's Kitchen in Pottstown
144 Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches made for the Bread Drop Food Program
127 snack bags made for The Welcome Church
$3267 raised for Pottstown Beacon of Hope (updated after the above graphic was created)
The youth also created social justice themed art projects, which will be on display at the ELCA Southeastern PA Synod Assembly on May 2, 3 for rostered synod and church delegates to see.
Thank you for your support of this program. We look forward to next year’s Box City event!
