Caroline Cares Campus Ministry

Caroline Cares is a program that sends care packages to our Church youth who are attending college or high school away from home.  Our purpose is to keep connected with the young people of our Church.  We want them to know that we care about them, are praying for them, and support them in their studies.  We hope this will encourage them to remain connected with the Church throughout their school years and beyond.

Each Fall and Spring Semester, we mail out approximately 25 care packages. We create a poster board sized wish list that includes each snack item and amount needed written on a Post-It note. Parishioners can take a Post-It and return their donation to a well-marked Rubbermaid bin in front of the church or in the Marco C. Smith Building. It takes about 4 weeks to collect all the items needed. Boxes are packed by Sunday school students on a Sunday after church. They are blessed the following Sunday during church and then mailed by volunteer parishioners the next day.
