Why We're Dropping 20,000 Easter Eggs


This Saturday, Peace Community Church has its 3rd annual "Big Ol' Egg Drop" (www.bigeggdrop.com). This event is something we love to do for the community, and it's always a blast for the kids. But there's a greater purpose for the event. This year's egg drop will benefit the "No Child Without Initiative"* of Sumner County Schools, a program committed to assisting the poor and eliminating homelessness in our community. Here are a few ways they help the kids in our area:
  • Delivering weekend food packs
  • Providing clothing
  • Purchasing school supplies
  • Tutoring
  • Distributing donated items like gifts at Christmas
We've talked with Maureen Wright of Sumner County Schools, and she suggested that we receive monetary donations at the egg drop. So please come this Saturday. Bring the whole family. And please consider how much you may give to this worthy cause so that we can help defeat poverty in our community. We can make a difference--together!
