We have opportunities to serve folks in need in our community and hope you’ll participate!

Moore School Food Pantry, Highland, alongside Temple Emmanuel, supports Moore Elementary School by providing a food pantry for students of Moore School and their families. For the month of May, we are asking for donations of rice. We have busy this year and would love to have your help. Please sign up for “Moore Elementary Pantry Spring/Summer Volunteering.” Please click here to view the online sign up sheet.

Hygiene Kits: The Global Service Committee invites you to sign up to provide items for Hygiene Kits that will be used by the Church World Service (CWS) program and disbursed to those in need. 
Our goal is to provide 250 Hygiene Kits to CWS to restock their warehouses and prepare for upcoming tornado and fire seasons. Please drop off your donations at Highland, between April 26 and May 10, Monday-Thursday between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., or any Sunday when you’re at church.

We are looking for a few people to work together to provide a meal for 30 women and children on Monday May 11 for Flourish, a program of The Shalom Project. Contact Laurie McKinney if able to help.

Our Diaper Drive for The Shalom Project and Clemmons Food Pantry runs from Mother’s Day to Father’s Day, May 10–June 14. You may drop them off any time the church is open. We will accept diapers (any size, including adult) in opened or unopened packages, and wipes. Thank you for supporting caregivers and kids in need in our community!
