Diaper and Formula Drive for CareNet Pregnancy Centers
Each year in the spring WACC helps out CareNet, one of our favorite ministries, by collecting diapers and formula. There are barrels located in the church hallways for your donations. Any kind of diapers are fine; CareNet asks that formula be Enfamil brand or the generic equivalent. It’s all expensive! Your generosity can help provide the means for young parents to be able to choose LIFE for their babies. Thank you!!

A big thank you to everyone who made the Festival of Flavors a great success! A little over $1800 was raised, which will help to feed over 200 families in the future.

FROG Squad
This ministry is an after school Bible study program from 3:00 – 4:30 PM each Tuesday afternoon for children that attend Lamar Elementary. The “Squad” is growing exponentially and is in desperate need of more high school and adult volunteers, especially men! The children are excited about hearing the Word of God and attendance runs between 80 and 100 children each week. Please contact Rachel Stone at 806-341-8599 if you can help.
SNAK PAK for Kids
WACC participates in the city-wide SNAK PAK for Kids program which provides food to needy children so they will have something to eat over the weekends and holidays when they don’t get a meal at school. SNAK PAK, however, is unable to get peanut butter right now, so we are asking WACC to help us fill that void for the 50+ Lamar Elementary kids on our list. All donations of 18 oz jars of peanut butter can be put in the “old nursery” which is located in room 203. Your help in this project is immensely appreciated!!
