During our Shared Offering every week, we collect items for a local agency.

For our service offering this August we will be collecting clothing for students served by the Lamar School District’s Common Threads program. Common Threads ensures that children in the school district who are in need, will have clean, decent clothing to wear to school each day. We will be collecting new underwear and socks, still in their packaging, gently used t-shirts, and gently used children’s shoes. You can either bring your items to church on Sunday or purchase via the link below.

We share half of our Sunday Offering with a community partner.

This August we are helping a little further afield when we split our Sunday collections with the Kerr County Flood Relief Fund to help provide relief and recovery services to victims of the July floods. This community foundation distributes funds to vetted local organizations providing rescue, relief, recovery services and flood assistance. The Fund supports impacted communities including Boerne, Hunt, Ingram, Kerrville, Center Point and Comfort.

Every few months, Thoreau offers a “Service after the Service” for the entire community to come together for a hands-on project.

Stay tuned for our next service project this fall.
