We invite the Fourth Church neighborhood and community to a monthly drive for food, clothing, and household items. Donations go to Fourth's ministry partners serving those in need locally and in the greater DMV.

NEXT COLLECTION

February 12, 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, this is a DRIVE-THROUGH event. The collection is hosted by the Youth Ministry in partnership with the Mission DMV ministry.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE
  • Mark your contributions “Collection” or “Food” and place them in the trunk of your vehicle.
  • Please do not donate any items in glass containers.
  • Please wear a face mask.
  • Drive to the covered entrance on the Ridgefield Road side of Fourth Church.
  • Use the outer lane and remain in your car for safe physical distancing. You will see tables set up for sorting donated items.
  • Release the trunk, and youth staff or volunteers wearing masks and gloves will unload your contribution.
