Fostering Life
Fostering partnerships at Canyon Ridge
Caring for kids in need in Vegas
At Canyon Ridge, we want to be a place where families go to get better. We also know that fostering is a tremendous way to do that. Fostering Life partners with organizations across Las Vegas to support, encourage, and connect fostering and potential foster families. There are plenty of ways to get involved, either as a volunteer or a foster family.
Bless Foster Families with Backpacks Filled with School Supplies
This year we have the opportunity to use our good resources to serve children in Foster Care as they head back to school this fall.
We are partnering with DFS (Department of Family Services) and supplying as many of these students as possible with school supplies.
Our generosity as a church can show these students that they are cared for and loved by God.
You can drop off school supplies at the Church Campus on our Drive Through Drop off Day on Wednesday, August 5, 10 am – 2 pm on the backside of the Children’s Building (enter off La Madre Street).
Or at Hannah’s Closet North (4079 North Rancho Drive, Suite 110, Las Vegas, NV 89130) during their open hours in July/August – For list of their hours/location go to https://www.facebook.com/hannahsclosetlv/
