As a non-profit, the Ida Spence Mission relies on fundraisers and support from churches and individuals. While there are options for donation (see link above), there are several opportunities to help support the mission.
The biggest fundraiser is their Annual Spaghetti Dinner and Cake Auction in November!
Other chances to help include:
Every Month - Last Saturday of the Month Meal
We need churches to commit to one month out of the year to provide 350 “To GO” meals to the community of City Heights. Often our families find their cupboards empty at the end of the month.
Sundays - Children’s Worship Service from 4:30-5:30
Plan a Sunday with your youth and adults to lead the children in worship songs with your guitar, play Bible Games, or make a craft together. We love visitors at the Mission.
Work Days at the Mission
Plan a Mission Trip closer to home. It is as easy as selecting a date and then contacting our director to find out what projects are available (this could include hosting a parking lot party for the community during warm weather months).
June - Backpack Drive
You can help make a difference for a struggling child by providing a backpack packed full of basic school supplies (packed for elementary or middle/high school students). Please deliver backpacks to the Mission by the second Sunday in July.
July - Vacation Bible School
Please consider rounding up your youth group or a group of adults and volunteering one out of the three days of Mission VBS. Your group could lead games, bring a craft, or help with story time. Backpacks will be distributed to all children participating in VBS.
October - Harvest Fest
Join us as we celebrate Fall with fun Fall activities and treats. Would your church like to provide small pumpkins for decorating, face painters, or treats?
December - Walmart Gift Cards
What a wonderful time of year to share the love of Christ with the families of City Heights by leading your church in a collection of gifts cards in any amount to Walmart. The cards will be used to purchase gifts for our families and meet other needs within the ministry.
