Last year we gave out over 500 bags in 3 days. Will you help us?
Soon, a new school year will begin and students from across the state and country will flood the UC’s campus. Each year our team meets over 4,000 students within the first month of classes. They’ll participate in events we throw on campus, build relationships with staff members, and many will investigate faith in Christ, some hopefully will be transformed by the gospel of Christ.
Campus Outreach at UC is starting something new this year and providing an opportunity for you and your community to join us in reaching out at UC.
We will hand out “welcome back” bags filled with snacks for students at info tables, campus events, weekly meetings, etc.. Each bag represents a tangible expression of your love for an individual student at UC.
How to help
At each campus, there is a table in the lobby with a bunch of brown paper bags. Grab as many as you think you can fill!
What to pack in the bags:
Chips, crackers, prepackaged snacks, treats, candy, etc.
Be careful with chocolate (it might melt!)
No homemade food
No personal hygiene items
Please consider adding a printed Bible verse or prayer. Our students love handwritten notes letting them know you’re praying for them.
Please don’t add any other type of written materials.
While you pack the bags:
Pray as a group over the bags and for the students who will receive them
Pack a few items into each bag
Load the bags into a box or larger bag to transport
Please leave the bags open. Do not seal them.
Return the bags to the Campus Outreach table in the lobby of your campus by August 18th.
*Please consider joining us on Aug 19 for a Prayer Walk around UC.
Watch this testimony video as you back your bags...
