PROJECT HOPE
School Work Day & Back-to-School Giveaway

 Project Hope is a ministry of OneHope, a local Christian nonprofit which brings churches from across the county together to achieve a common goal: be the hands and feet of Jesus in our local communities! Fairfield partners with OneHope; we invite you to be a part of this extraordinary service and outreach event, where you can be a part of a movement that is serving our local communities in Christ's Name!

There are two events over the course of the Project Hope weekend: the School Work Day on Saturday, and the Back-to-School Giveaway on Sunday. We are participating in both this year, and encourage you to volunteer for one or both! Please read through the information below for both events and use the links to sign up. We are also collecting a special offering through July 9 to raise funds for backpacks and other school supplies to be distributed at the Back-to-School giveaway — more information at the bottom of this page. Please email our Middle School Pastor Timothy (tim@fairfieldbaptistchurch.com) with any questions or for more information.

SATURDAY, AUGUST 26
​9:00 AM - NOON

One of the great ways we can show our community the church is for them is to serve in the community. OneHope partners churches to local schools, and we're paired with Willamette High School! For this work day, we will complete various tasks at the high school to help the custodial team ready the buildings and grounds for the new school year. These tasks have in the past included pulling weeds, spreading bark, and painting.

SUNDAY, AUGUST 27
​1:00 PM  - 5:00 PM

There is a great need in our community for school supplies for low income families. At the Kids' Fair, families receive free new supplies: a backpack, pair of shoes, and various other supplies as well. Our church's role in the Kids' Fair is to prepare and serve free hot dogs, drinks, and snacks to the families coming through the event! Whether you have experience with food service or not, we would be grateful for your service on this team.
OneHope has a mandatory meeting for all volunteers on Tuesday, August 22 from 6:30-7:30pm at Willamette Christian Center. Regardless of which events you sign up for, they ask that you come to this meeting. If you cannot for whatever reason, please email Timothy before August 15 to make alternate arrangements.

PROJECT HOPE BACKPACK OFFERING

In addition to serving at the Project Hope events, Fairfield is also collecting a special offering through July 9 to provide backpacks and other school supplies for distribution to low-income families at the Back-to-School Giveaway. We encourage you to thoughtfully consider supplementing your tithe with a contribution toward this goal, keeping in mind that $25 provides a single student with the complete package of free school supplies at the event. Contributions should be marked "Project Hope" to participate in this special offering.
