Student Mentoring

We provide a Bible2School program for Smoketown Elementary students in the Conestoga Valley School District during the school day. So we can effectively journey with the students, our program is available to one grade at a time, each school year. Here’s how it works:

  • 2024-2025 school year: Smoketown 2ND GRADE students.
  • 2025-2026 school year: Smoketown 3RD GRADE students.
  • 2026-2027 school year: Smoketown 4TH GRADE students.
  • Then, the process will repeat again with 2ND GRADE Smoketown students in 2027-2028, and so on.

Summer Lunch Club

Our Summer Lunch Club is Wednesdays at Flory Park (416 Dohner Dr.), 11:30am-12:30pm, from June through August. The meals are free of charge and open to Kids 18 & under. We serve 1 on-site meal plus 2 additional meals to take home.

In alignment with our mission of providing holistic charity, not only do we provide meals for food-insecure kids during the summer, we also provide food for the soul as well. We partner with Good News Club and local churches to have fun games & activities, Bible studies, and the opportunity to make friends and form lasting relationships.

Backpacks & School Supplies

Before the start of every school year, we provide backpacks and school supplies to Conestoga Valley families in need. With every backpack provided, we empower students through our “Back Pack Give Back” initiative which encourages them to make a difference in the CV community by giving back.

Some of the ideas consist of: Donating old clothes, toys, or books they no longer need, doing an extra chore to help out at home, writing an encouraging note to a family member, teacher, or friend, and more! The Back Pack Give Back initiative teaches students the importance of reciprocity by giving back to their community.
