At CTW, we long to be the kind of church whose absence would be felt — not because of a building or a service, but because of the impact we’ve made in our community.

That’s why CTW Students are stepping into a long-term serve partnership with the Downriver Community Food Pantry. Located in Wyandotte, this pantry serves families facing real need — and we want to meet them there with real hope, compassion, and consistency.

This will now be our ongoing student serve opportunity, scheduled every other month on the first Saturday, beginning September 6. I hope your student will join us!

Downriver Community Food Pantry Service Day

📍 Location: 135 Superior Blvd, Wyandotte (Old St. Patrick’s Church School – entrance off the alley)

🕘 Time: 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM

👥 Who: Middle & High School Students

What Students Will Do:

- Packing and organizing food

- Picking and filling food orders

- Greeting and assisting customers

- Loading and unloading vehicles

- Helping in the hallway or with paperwork

Important Notes:

- We’ll be interacting with people from many different backgrounds — some may not speak English or may be navigating addiction or mental illness. We treat everyone with dignity and respect.

- Spanish speakers: this is a great opportunity to practice your skills!

- Respect and privacy are essential — what happens at the pantry stays at the pantry.

- All adults are background checked.

- All students must have an emergency contact form on file to participate.

Let’s raise up students who live the way of Jesus — not just in church, but in the places that need light the most.
